Plunkr Case (Bug Reports)
http://plnkr.co/edit/CXRMVxB6gGMtdPCtY5D6

Current behavior

When slider is configured with step & min / max, value does not follow cursor/ Instead, it drags behind...

Expected behavior

Slider should follow mouse position at all time.

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

See plunker above

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

Poor user experience; slider with steps is not working well...

This should be fixed in recent PrimeNG release, please try with it and if the issue persists drop a comment with along with a test case based on plunkr below and we'll review again.

This should not be closed! It is still an issue! Please reopen and fix!

Same here... the faster you go - the more async it becomes with cursor.
Any suggestions ?

This is the hack I had to write to fix this:

export class MyComponent implements OnInit, OnDestroy {
    readonly sliderMinimum = 1;
    readonly sliderMaximum = 250;
    
    private isMouseDown = false;
    private listenerMove: Function;
    private listenerUp: Function;
    private listenerLeave: Function;
    @ViewChild('slider') slider: ElementRef;

    constructor(private renderer: Renderer) { }

    ngOnInit() {
        // handle slider mouse events
        this.listenerMove = this.renderer.listen('document', 'mousemove', (event: MouseEvent) => { this.onMouseMove(event); })
        this.listenerUp = this.renderer.listen('document', 'mouseup', (event: MouseEvent) => { this.isMouseDown = false; })
        this.listenerLeave = this.renderer.listen('document', 'mouseleave', (event: MouseEvent) => { this.isMouseDown = false; })
    }

    ngOnDestroy() {
        this.listenerMove();
        this.listenerUp();
        this.listenerLeave();
    }

    onMouseMove(event: MouseEvent, isOverride = false) {
        if (!this.isMouseDown && !isOverride)
                return;

        if (isNaN((<any>this.slider).initX)) {
            /*
                This nasty hack (along with isOverride) is needed because slider's values (like initX)
                are undefined until after first click on it
            */
            setTimeout((event: MouseEvent) => { this.onMouseMove(event, true); }, 100, event);
            return;
        }

        let relativeX = event.clientX - (<any>this.slider).initX;
        let width = (<any>this.slider).barWidth;

        let amount = Math.ceil((relativeX / width) * this.sliderMaximum);
        amount = amount < this.sliderMinimum ? this.sliderMinimum : amount;
        amount = amount > this.sliderMaximum ? this.sliderMaximum : amount;

        this.selectedAmount = amount;
    }

    onSliderClick(isMouseDown: boolean, event: MouseEvent) {
        this.isMouseDown = isMouseDown;
        
        this.onMouseMove(event);
    }

There are probably opportunities for cleanup here, but I was going fast... hope it helps you. Let me know if you see something I can do better here, especially the setTimeout hack

Actually, this seems like a duplicate of: #3556
