[BUG] Dash documentation on Slider marks
Great software.
Describe your context On the Dash website there is an explanation of the Slider component https://dash.plot.ly/dash-core-components/slider Under the section "Marks and Steps" it says "[...] the slider will only be able to select values that have been predefined by the marks." I'm on Chrome under Windows 10 but I doubt that's relevant.
Describe the bug
When moving the slider you can select values not defined in marks. Additionally, you can't select 7.65, a value defined in marks.
Expected behavior
I expected the slider to behave as described, i.e. limit the selectable values and have all defined values be available.
Screenshots
Thanks @grofte
The issue is that step has a default of 1 (though this is never explicitly stated anywhere in our own docs - you have to go look at the component we wrapped, https://github.com/schrodinger/rc-slider to see that) and you have to explicitly say step=None to get the described behavior, which puts the text in contradiction with the example code.
Cool @alexcjohnson
That should be an easy fix then.
I wasn't sure if this was the right place to report documentation problems though?
@grofte don't worry too much about where to report - I'd much rather get a report in an adjacent repo than not get it at all. And github has now made it easy to move an issue between repos, so I just moved it where I think the work will be done. Thanks again for the report!
Actually, I guess I could just clone and fix it myself?
And there's some stuff in the Dash DataTables tutorial that I think could use some TLC as well.
Absolutely, we would love a PR to this repo to address any deficiencies you see!
Has anyone noticed (in the example above and in the docs) that the right-most mark (10 °F) wraps the characters after the space to a new line?
This is no bueno. One of those 80/20 Rule things that makes you pull your hair out when you're burning the midnight oil to finish your project. Haven't found a combination of style tricks or char code to work around it yet, either.
Otherwise, love the library & thx.
