If start/end range are too close I can't drag slider

[stuporglue]

When the start and end values of a range are too close the drag bar cannot be selected.

My slider has the years 1913-2013 (as numbers, not dates) across 950px. Dragging them filters a set of points on a map to show events from those dates.

The users can set the start and end date and drag the slider to show that timespan as the slider is dragged. (eg. starts at 1913-1923, then they drag and it increments to 1915-1925, etc.) If the range is small (eg. 1 year) the slider cannot be dragged since the bar (.ui-rangeSlider-bar) is hidden behind the slider handles (.ui-rangeSlider-leftHandle, .ui-rangeSlider-rightHandle).

It would be nice to be able to specify a minimum width for the drag bar.

I agree this is a bit of a bug. It would be nice to have it addressed...
