I think that's because it normalizes the values based on the pixel granularity of the slider. That's just a guess.

Hi, I've noticed something strange with hslider and vslider. I you give them a large range, the inputs and outputs aren't always equal or at least they are out by a factor greater than 1. For example with the range 0 - 55000, if you connect a number object to hslider's input and enter 6034, the output reads 6032.68.
Couldn't find this reported elsewhere - though perhaps i didn't search hard enough. This result is on linux.
Cheers, i
