Description
Contour plots can be easily done as follows
`pd = PlotData2D(sol),
contour(pd["var_name"])`
but the correct visualization is given only if the chosen mesh was TreeMesh. As an example:

For all the other cases the image displayed is

Research direction
Start by tracing PlotData2D(sol) and the contour(pd["var_name"]) path for TreeMesh, then compare it with the other mesh types shown in the issue. Reproduce both displayed outcomes and identify where non-TreeMesh data is prepared for Plots.jl. Done means contour plots render correctly for all supported mesh types, with regression coverage for the failing cases.
