Classic UI 1.8.1 and new slider: major problem

[lolodomo]

Using the new slider provided with Classic UI in openHAB 1.8.1, I succeeded several times to enter in a loop with infinite update of the item (always with the same value). This is clearly the classic UI that update the item because if I close the WEB browser, the updates stop.
Unfortunately, it is not clear for me what is the exact scene to reproduce this issue.

I'm getting the same thing, as soon as I change the brightness sliders on the classic UI, my lights go crazy, switching between different numbers and undefined states really fast. In a single second my openHAB server receives this many updates, my log is filled with thousands of these:

Trying to change the slider further adds more of these forever repeating requests but for that number, so the lights rapidly switch between the two at least 20 times a second. It's enough to give me a headache!

Thanks for letting us know! I'll try to find a solution asap …

Hi @teichsta thanks for looking into it, any progress on this?

Would you recommend going back to 1.8.0 in the mean-time?

[teichsta]

Hi @teichsta thanks for looking into it, any progress on this?

yes and no … i decided to revert the slider change for 1.8 for various reasons (see PR #4051).

[BClark09]

Ah that's helpful, thanks for the information, and the work that you do.

problem has been fixed by reverting the slider (see #4051)
