[repost - I sent the original off-list by mistake!]
Anelok's capacitive slider has made a terrible mistake - it has caused embarrassment for its boss. Worse yet, the slider gives no sign of accepting the blame and removing itself gracefully.
I won't pretend to understand how the capacitive slider is intended to work, but reading here:

I was interested in their description of a slider "A slider is a series of touch buttons cascaded together with overlapping transitions and designed specifically to track finger position and movement."
As I understand it, the current Anelok slider is actually a linear slider, not a series of buttons. Are there some alternative layouts of the PCB track that would make the slider less prone to atomspheric variations?
