[Bf-funboard] Continuous grab for sliders in Modifiers.

[Bol Bib]

just to make sure we are talking about the same thing: I mean the influence sliders on modifier panels.

When I grab those in the middle I can not slide it all the way left or right,I have to let go and re-drag;every time.
Unless I am more careful with selecting, then it is possible. 

But with Blender muscle training you that continuous grab just works it was annoying to see everytime that you have to drag again for those particular sliders.



Anyway if we were talking about the same thing, very appreciated that you listened to my woes!
