Thanks Eric,

Setting the Value Format for the slider let me see that the slider does not increase in unit values of the scale marker even though the scroll distance on bar click is set to 1. I guess the units were close because of the sizing I applied to the object so that it appeared that it was advancing by 1. In the Variable watcher it said the value of SQ was 3, but if SQ=3 statement would evaluate false --I got real confused. Got to watch out for that property with scrollbars.

Hi Dennis,

Your problem is with the numberFormat property:
By default, the numberFormat property is set to 0.######.
BUT (see the docs) the numberFormat of newly created scrollbars is set to empty.
So you have a scrollbar whose behaviour accords with default numberFormat value and another with scrollbars default numberFormat values.
And the current numberformat value is applied when you perform any calculation (addition in your case).

I am really baffled debugging what should be a non-problem, but I must be missing something basic. I was trying to debud why my script would not work and I worked it down to this symptom.

I made two sliders that go from 1 to 44, increment 1, show value. The first one "startQ" works as expected. The second one "endQ" behaves in a strange way.

put the thumbPosition of scrollbar "startQ" into SQ --starting quarter
put the thumbPosition of scrollbar "endQ" into EQ --ending quarter
put SQ && EQ -- displays 2 2
put SQ +0 && EQ +0 -- displays 2 1.9375


every click on the first slider advances the thumbPosition by 1
every click on the second slider advances the thumbPosition by 0.9375, but displays as an integer.


I made the second slider by copy/paste the first slider. Then I tried deleting that slider and dragging a fresh slider to the card to make the second one, but it still acts the same. I checked every inspector basic parameter, and both are identical.

What is going on?????

Amicalement,

Eric Chatonet.
