Slider starts at 5 instead of the minimum value

Hi,
I know this issue was reported some time ago.
But since a few days in all my installations (3.15.5,, 3.16.0, 3.16.1 on different servers) the slider starts at the value "5".
This happens in all tested browsers (Firefox 65, Edge, Chrome 73)
and on different devices, Desktop and Laptop.


And furthermore it happens in the Demo installation.
Have a look.


Any ideas?

Thanks
Joffm

If you don't set anything : it's the default value (start at middle, without set the value if i remind).
Can you export a sample ?

Denis, I am not such a newbie.

Of course I set something:


And here is the full screenshot (I used 0 and 20 to make it clearly visible)

There is an example in the demo installation:
179659 "Slider"

The slider part was never really a clean design.
LimeSurvey should start with more questiontypes, instead of packing more options into one questiontype. The debugging get's more complicated. The backwards compatibility with survey structure might be lost.

Another issue: Set Slider initial value set at start to 0, save, then remove the value to empty. You will still see "Slider initial value set at start: 0" in the question overview info

@Jelo,
Oh, I missed that Tammo e.a. confirmed this in january.

But now I found my misunderstanding: I did not set "slider initial value".
I always thought without this setting it should be the default behaviour to start at the outer left position (if "slider starts in middle position" is not set).
