This may be associated with my mouse, but since Dials and Sliders have been introduced into the Storyline repertoire, I have typically had issues with the Dial going past steps on the dial to an unwanted stop, missing a spot, or being "janky" to smoothly control. I typically use no more than 6-7 layers that are being shown, associated with the Dial or Slider, and increments are Step val of 1. I have tried 1.5, 2, etc.
This issue is not as prevalent with the slider. Only the Dial.
Using the setting Update to "when learner releases" prevents the wonky behavior - but still, when set to "When Dial is Dragged", it is really problemmattic.
I don't see any bugs logged that relate to this type of behavior with dials! I'm interested in investigating what might be happening.
I've recreated a similar course on my end and it looks like dials are working as expected. You can test my course here.
If you're comfortable sharing your file and/or a screen recording of the behavior, I think that would be a step in the right direction. You can share privately by using this link.
I discussed this with David offline. For whatever reason, dials are a little wonkier than sliders with respect to going past dial node points, etc., as mentioned. He did state that increments can be as small as .01 for a Step Value which I didn't know. I may try that too. Thanks!
