I am trying Manipulate function in Mathematica 10.2. The problem is that when I move the slider the graph manipulates but when I click the + sign/expand button to see the value it automatically resets my slider to start position.

I have tried Mathematica 10 where this problem never occured.

Also I want to keep sliders in expanded form even after I reinitialize my Manipulate function if possible.

I know that I can expand the slider and then move it but the problem is I have to reinitialize my Manipulate function many times for various reasons and thus sliders reset all the time.

Kindly help me out if possible.

PS: I have tried the Bookmark setting its a little tedious.

  • You might add a minimal example to you question, to illustrate your problem. As far as I know and my tests show, the values do no longer (Mathematica 10.2, Windows 10) reset after clicking the Show Animation Controls button. – Karsten7 Aug 06 '15 at 07:27

    It was noticed ealier: http://mathematica.stackexchange.com/q/82932/5478 it was marked as solved but I have no idea why... – Kuba Aug 06 '15 at 07:56
  • @Kuba I remember this behavior well, and I had reported on reproducing it in the original question. I have since upgraded to 10.2 and indeed this behavior seems to have been fixed. I have not observed self-resetting sliders as described since the upgrade. I also cannot reproduce the problem in that question you linked any more, although I could with 10.1. – MarcoB Aug 06 '15 at 14:01
  • @Kuba It works properly for me. V10.2, Mac OSX. -- How do you find out what latest paclet update you have? I wish there was a way to be notified when M is updated and to find out the current update version. Probably there is.... – Michael E2 Aug 06 '15 at 14:04

  • If you want to see the value of a Slider use the option Appearance -> "Labeled" – Bob Hanlon Aug 06 '15 at 14:12
  • Have you tried Manipulate[x, {x, 0, 100, Appearance -> "Open"}] per the documentation for Manipulator and Manipulate? – Michael E2 Aug 06 '15 at 14:15
  • @Kuba Found PacletInformation /@ PacletFindRemote["WolframAutoUpdate"]. My Version is 6.0.0. No date though. – Michael E2 Aug 06 '15 at 14:17

    @MichaelE2 "Version" -> "7.0.0" :) and Manipulator[1] resets to 0 when opened. – Kuba Aug 06 '15 at 14:31
  • @Kuba The code in http://mathematica.stackexchange.com/q/82932/5478 works fine for me, but Manipulator[1] and var = 1; Manipulator[Dynamic@var] still reset. But Manipulate[var, {{var, 75.}, 50., 100., 0.2}] works fine. -- I voted to close as a duplicate, but now I think it should be closed as needing example code to reproduce the problem. – Michael E2 Aug 06 '15 at 16:23
  • @AVyas Could you give a simple example of a Manipulate that shows how you're using slider/manipulator? Thanks. – Michael E2 Aug 06 '15 at 17:02
  • @MichaelE2 For me it's the same bug with special case fixed. But I do not care how it is called/classified, I'm interested in a fix. :) – Kuba Aug 06 '15 at 21:11

    @Kuba Your example only resets when the initial value is greater than or equal to the upper end point (e.g., Manipulator[0.9] works fine). It seems opening Manipulator[x., {a, b}], replaces the value x by Mod[x, b-a, a]. In one way it makes sense, since you're opening (and activating) the animator component. – Michael E2 Aug 06 '15 at 21:30
