Slider skips a step
Hi,
Can anyone tell why this doesn't work:
Initial value is 3, but then the slider skips '0' and immediately goes to -3 and then -6.
Hi, Stefaan,
I found out a few years ago that sliders can't really handle negative numbers. I wanted to have sliders that went from -3 to +3. But they wouldn't stop a -1. I reported this to Articulate as a bug.
I just created a slider with your range: +3 to -6. Setting the steps at 1, the slider skips -2. Setting the steps at 3, as you did, the slider skips 0.
I assume that your issue is related to that bug that hasn't been fixed.
You can report this directly to Articulate here:

Perhaps someday they'll fix this. Or, at least, perhaps they'll stop claiming that sliders work to -9999.
