Yeah, I tried that too, and the results are funny. I didn't quite expect 
it to work with a default "steady on click" slider, but I did expect it 
to work with a "jump on click" slider. The problem is that after 
clicking, when you drag, the "jump on click" slider behaves exactly like 
a default one.

However, have a look at the attached proposed workaround. I use two 
sliders one on top of the other, and take advantage of the fact that in 
Pd the gui object on the background catches mouse interaction, not the 
one on the front.

The main patch is "test.pd", while the other one is the abstraction used 
to control the slider.
Look at the "send" and "receive" properties of the two sliders.

Is this an aproximation to what you were trying to do?
