There are two sliders for each track, a gain [-...+] slider and a pan [L...R] slider.

In version 1.2.6, both sliders move along with the mouse.

In version 1.3.4 Beta (Windows version tested), when dragging the gain slider with the mouse, the slider moves half the distance of the mouse. This also happens in the pop-up window gain slider (new feature in unstable version, by double clicking the gain slider).

The pan slider still moves along with the mouse.

Is this a new bug introduced in the unstable version or a new annoying feature?

The second case, I guess, and I find it nice unless I hit the left edge of my screen.

The dB's are runnig in units, and with Shift, in halfs of unit.
Well there is a rounding bug, it steps sometimes by 0,5 dB and sometimes by 0,4 dB (1.3.5, in XP)

I kind of like that - makes it easier to adjust to say -3dB. (not sure if it's a bug or a feature)

I like it more that you can double click and enter the value as text.
