Is the "Input Type Range" broken? Where's the option to turn Drover off?

We don’t use sp-slider; we use the native slider, and we’re now getting customer inquiries saying the sliders aren’t working anymore. I’ll set aside for now the fact that the text in the input fields is positioned “a bit low.” The problem is that the sliders (range) are no longer usable as is. Only the min/max values work but without using the values. I’m having the same problem in Beta 27.9, but it seems to be in the released version as well. There used to be an option in the settings under “Drover,” but it’s gone. Any info for me?

Can you share a snippet of your slider code so we can reproduce the issue?

<input class="grain" data-callback="sliderInput" data-panel="grain" type="range" min="0" step="1" max="100" value="0">

You keep adding to the original post :sweat_smile:

I know there are some “aesthetic” issues that were not prioritized for the release.

The slider thing seems like a blocker. I’ve asked @kasi_viswanathan and @karan to try and reproduce the issue, but it’s Friday night for them at the moment.

I added screenshots of the other bugs… They do bother me, but what bothers me more is that customers are contacting us and it’s no longer working. What ever happened to that Drover feature for UXP? Why are we being forced to live without this option?

Now we’re tracking it as PS-204932.

Is this problem in Beta only or also in Stable release?

Hi Jarda…

Windows:
27.8. Stable OK
27.9.1 Stable Buggy
27.9.1 Beta Buggy

Mac:
27.9.1 Stable Buggy

I haven’t tested any of the others yet, but I think starting with version 27.9.0, it’ll be like this everywhere. Back then, there was that “Drover UXP” setting or something… since that’s gone now, all the plugins look “awful,” but the sliders only go to 0 or all the way!

I tried sp-slider; they’d work, but they don’t look that great (in my opinion), and I have no idea if we’d have to rework all the plugins now, even though the other elements aren’t that great either.

Right. So the problem got outside of them Beta. Sometimes users use Beta expect plugin to be problem-free in beta as well. But I would not provide such a guarantee… because… it is Beta. But having this in a stable release is not good.

Good news!

This got addressed over the weekend, and fix is already in “Test” that should make it into the August release. I’m waiting for a few more details.

I don’t have any news for the more aesthetic stuff, the priority for the Photoshop team was to address broken functionality.

Cool, and thanks! :slightly_smiling_face:

But the fact that the elements don’t look good now is also a bit of a nuisance. Why is this being done, anyway? We’ve spent a lot of time over the last few years getting used to what we have, and now everything is being changed… for example, the 14x14px icons are blurry. The HTML inputs have always been a problem (e.g., they’re always rendered on top of all other elements). Changing this visually now and including it in a release version without an option to switch it back is really not good.

We’ve since figured out that the “Step” property no longer refers to the step size, but rather to the number of steps. This breaks the behavior in existing Plugins. Does your fix address this?

Will Adobe fix these visual glitches soon, or will native elements no longer be supported in the future?
