Actual Behavior

I have multiple same instances of Calcite Slider element, however, they appear to be different in block-size:

As we can see, the two sliders highlighted in red boxes appear to be slightly smaller, even though all sliders are the same instances of Calcite Slider.

Expected Behavior

All sliders should appear to have the same size

Reproduction Steps

Changing the browser's zoom level will also change the rendered size of the sliders randomly.

Thanks for reporting this.

I believe this is expected since we're using rems to size the slider track (as well as other parts). Due to how rems are calculated, it is expected that some calculated values might be fractional and depending on user's hardware, this might cause some differences in rendering (FWIW, this isn't observable in Retina displays).

Will revisit once the token effort is completed in #7180, targeted for next month (December).

Adding to @geospatialem's comment, component tokens will use pixels (vs rems as the slider currently does), so multiple component instances would render consistently. cc @alisonailea
