[IDV #PCY-782376]: MDR bugs in a bundle

> IDV support,
> Attached is a bundle we built for the Lackmann-Tyle-Mapes textbook lab manual 
> we are writing. It exposes some IDV bugs and shortcomings.
> 
> We are trying to write this into the book:
> "The same set of displays can be viewed for any time 1979-2015, anywhere in 
> the world, with LMT_2.2_MERRA_1979-2015, and for real time data using 
> LMT_2.2_RT. In either case, to view another area of the globe, zoom out until 
> your desired region is visible and then hold the shift key while 
> rubberbanding a lat-lon box with the left mouse button.”
> 
> But it fails in two ways.
> 
> 
> 1. Three displays that originated from Grid Diagnostics (QG Temp Adv, Div(Q 
> vector), and Geo Avor Advection) do not retain their Match Display Region 
> status when the .xidv is saved. I carefully set them to MDR (as the attached 
> screenshot shows), saved and reopened the bundle, and they have lost that MDR 
> status. They revert to the display region used during their creation.

Brian,

This is a bug, I can fix it soon.

> 2. The data cube showable by the sounding probe, as well as the position of

You are right, it is unimplemented feature, and my question is where to move 
the probe location, is it ok to set to the center of new area?
