Hello!

I'm using latest git master.

The cursor thickness slider on calendar preferences window doesn't behave as expected. Even though it's a slider, it seems that the cursor thickenss assumes discrete values. This makes for a confusing behavior.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Slide the slider towards "Thin" (~ 1cm away from "Thin")
2. Close the window
3. Open calendar preferences window again and you'll see that the slider has been set to "Thin". Not away from "Thin" as we set.

This happens because cursor_thickness increases in steps. i.e. assumes discretes values and slider ui makes it seem like cursor_thickness will assume continous values.

I think one solution can be: Grade the slider visibly. i.e. 1, 2.. numbers below the slider. And then only alllow slider to slide to these values only. That is, user can't slide to place between 1 and 2 but has to slide either to 1 or 2 exact.

I hope I was clear. :-)

    Hi Avinash,

    Thank you for reporting the problem.
    It was fixed in the current master.

      Perfect! The slider jumps in discrete steps and so the issue is fixed. Thanks! This ticket should be closed now.
