Resolve #6208 by copying the unstructured grid before cleaning it.
Turns out that
vtkStaticCleanUnstructuredGrid
modifies the connectivity of the input grid. From their documentation:Therefore, to avoid side-effects, let's always copy the input grid when cleaning.
Performance Considerations
Ideally we'd just shallow copy the input
UnstructuredGrid
and then deep copy the cells. However, there's an edge case where the input grid has polyhedral cells and we'd have to also code up that edge case. I'm leaning on the side of caution and just copying the entire input grid, especially as the copy operation is unlikely to be the long running operation.
