This isnt realy a problem anymore, a while back I changed this wil the 
help of broken, so button dragging is not linear.
Witg the old functionality if you dragged an objects location.. it 
jumped from 0 to 80, (somting like that), Now the first value is from 
0.0 to 0.80 whict is much more usefull.
it is always scaled from the initial value of the button so sometimes 
you need to do 2 drags to accuratly drag to a value,
