storyline slider skips a stop

Hi!

On the attached story, notice that the BLACK slider is unable to stop at the -$1 position.

I tried adding a new slider (the BLUE slider), and it also skips a stop ... but at the $1 position.

I used the following settings for the BLACK slider:

start: 5

end: -5

initial: 1

step: 1

I used the following settings for the BLUE slider:

start: -5

end: 5

initial: 1

step: 1

Thanks for any help or suggestions!

  • Hey Stephen,

    Thanks for including your file here. I'm seeing the same thing you're seeing, but it appears you have everything set up correctly. 

    I'd like to share your file with our Support Engineers to see if they can spot the culprit. Keep an eye out for an email from the team!

  • Thanks so much! 

    My guess is that the glitch happened because I set the slider scale +5 to -5 instead of 0 to 10. When I create a slider with a 0 to 10 scale, the slider works perfectly.

  • Good to know, Stephen. My teammate, Renato, is looking at the file as we speak. I'll pass this information along to him.

  • I know this is an old post, but I ran into the same issue when I used negative numbers. I was scaling from -3 to 3 in single steps, but it would skip positive 1.

    Stephen's solution, to his own problem, was extremely helpful and exactly what I needed!

  • I'm glad that this conversation was able to help you as well, Michael. I appreciate you chiming in to share, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes. 😊

    I have exactly the same - I need a -5 to +5 scale - but the sliders always skips -1. Even if I force it to start on -1, as soon as I move it away , I can no longer select -1. All the other levels work fine,,, take it this is still a bug? 

  • Yeah I am also experiencing this bug. I need a -2 to +2 scale with a step of 1, and the slider skips -1.

  • Hi, Learning Support.

    If you take a look at the discussion Walt shared above, you'll see we have a bug reported where the slider skips a step when starting or ending with a negative number, which is likely what you're experiencing. 

    I added this discussion to the report, so I can update everyone when I have some news. 

  • Hi everyone!

    I have some great news to share. We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 75, we've included important fixes. One of the bugs we've fixed is: 

    • HTML5: When moving the slider, it skips -1

    Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.

    Please let me know if you have any questions!
