Hello there!

It looks like this issue hasn't progressed lately. There are so many issues that we just can't deal them all within a reasonable timeframe.

There are a couple of things you could help to get things rolling on this issue (this is an automated message, so expect that some of these are already in use):

• Check if the issue is still valid for the latest version. There are dozens of duplicates in our issue tracker, so it is possible that the issue is already tackled. If it appears to be fixed, close the issue, otherwise report to the issue that it is still valid.
• Provide more details how to reproduce the issue.
• Explain why it is important to get this issue fixed and politely draw others attention to it e.g. via the forum or social media.
• Add a reduced test case about the issue, so it is easier for somebody to start working on a solution.
• Try fixing the issue yourself and create a pull request that contains the test case and/or a fix for it. Handling the pull requests is the top priority for the core team.
• If the issue is clearly a bug, use the Warranty in your Vaadin subscription to raise its priority.

Thanks again for your contributions! Even though we haven't been able to get this issue fixed, we hope you to report your findings and enhancement ideas in the future too!

Hi! .. I was taking a look to this issue, and I think that if what you want is to access the feedback internal component of VSlider, you could use JSNI as explained in this article, to set your custom value, maybe by creating an extension.

Implementing a full support for customizing the format of what is shown in the feedback from the server side could be rather difficult if we take into account the internal value with the mapping of what is wanted to be shown.
