Calling ISelectionManager.applySelectionFilter() from IVisual.update() causes infinite loop
Slicer should not be affected by incoming selection but slicers will be filtered by other slicer as well.
Our recommendation is to call applyJsonFilter only for users actions.

I updated my code so that the call to ISelectionManager.applySelectionFilter() is called in only two cases.
1) When the user interacts with the slicer
2) On first load, and only if the current selection isn't the first or last (as dictated by the settings).
Origionally the code would call ISelectionManager.applySelectionFilter() when ever the contents of the slicer was updated programatically. In most cases the selection was the same. But, from what I can tell there isn't a chance for a feedback loop any more.
Such solution looks good.
