0012082: Paraview loss of precision for ascii load of polydata
When loading a polydata file with ascii values, for large coordinate values it appears the points are loaded with a loss of precision.

I'm using files with coordinates such as:
[x,y,z] = [779091.061000 6167357.363000 616.540987];

Sure, I can offset all the coordinates back towards zero in my program, which of course makes sense numerically.
See attached files in problemReport.tar.gz

input.vtk exhibits the error.
input_offset.vtk works fine (values are offset closer to zero).

I've tried with the XML .vtp file format (but still using ascii numbers) and the problem is the same.

No tags attached.
