Wrong legend when importing launch_mapdl

Description of the bug

The plot legend is messed up if there is a launch_mapdl import after the dpf imports. Download the attached serialized field ("field.log") and run the snippet below. This results in the following output:

If the imports in are switched (first the launch_mapdl import), the plot looks as expected:

from ansys.dpf.core import operators, types
from ansys.mapdl.core import  launch_mapdl

op = operators.serialization.deserializer()
op.inputs.file_path("field.log") # log file extension so it can be uploaded to github
field = op.get_output(1,types.field)
field.plot()

field.log

Note: Uses current dev version of server.

Hi @germa89, any idea of what could be causing a conflict in the pymapdl import? I know there is a PyVista custom theme set-up but I do not see why it would result in this...

[germa89]

I think that issue is related to this PR: #2295

But I need to keep investigating and I cannot this week, so I'm transferring this issue to PyMAPDL just to not lose track of it. If it is a PyDPF issue, I will transfer it back with my findings as a comment.

[janvonrickenbach]

Hi @germa89. Is there any progress on this issue?

[germa89]

Hi @janvonrickenbach

I'm a bit busy with other stuff. Since this is not a big issue, I am delaying working on this.

You are welcome to convince me otherwise though!

[germa89]

Actually.... I quickly tested... that bug is not shown when using PyMAPDL as it is in main branch. Could you @janvonrickenbach try that?

[janvonrickenbach]

@germa89 Thanks for looking into the issue. I upgraded to the main branch and the issue is indeed fixed. Do you already have a schedule for the next release?

[germa89]

@janvonrickenbach ... I would say soon... in the next week or so :)

[greschd]

@germa89 any update on the release schedule?

[germa89]

Between today and tomorrow @greschd

[germa89]
