@BrianThorne Thanks for reporting. Unfortunately, this is a known bug upstream with material-components-web. I did push an update to expose the layout()` method https://github.com/trimox/angular-mdc-web/commit/93d02c42c63aea0b9434c79692cdf6f36e21be6a, you could experiment with calling that once the dialog is opened.

@trimox I had this working well in a dialog, using the exposed layout() property as you suggested. Now I just updated my project from 3.X to latest and a call to layout() no longer sets the value of the slider.

@ViewChild('slider') slider: MdcSlider;

this.slider.value = 55; this.slider.layout();

Nothing happens. The slider is set to 0. Something was changed in the layout() method that used to set the value, but no longer does.
