On a window I am using two Glide sliders and they both are very erratic.
Touch response for all Buttons on this window appear OK.
Any secrets I should know about coding for the sliders? When touched, the knob jumps all over and even goes out of the bounds of the control (Usually left of zero position). The knob remains on the same horizontal plane and sometimes disappears.
If it matters, I am using two window views (The windows switch on a button press)
//I put a line space to separate the slider code. No line space in actual resources file.
//KnobSize="20" default was changed to 18 only as a test.

The methods for both windows are NOT inside of ProgramStarted() { }

Tween.SlideWindow(windows[1], windows[0], Direction.Down);
}
windows[1].Render(), windows[1].Invalidate() added/removed to see if it made any difference. It did not make any difference.
The method DoButtons2() is called each time the windows[1] is made (Requested by a button press from windows[0]). Windows[0] is recalled by a button press from windows[1]
Thanks for suggestions
