Slider thumbPosition crazy values

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Dennis,

Your problem is with the numberFormat property:
By default, the numberFormat property is set to 0.######.
BUT (see the docs) the numberFormat of newly created scrollbars is set 
to empty.
So you have a scrollbar whose behaviour accords with default 
numberFormat value and another with scrollbars  default numberFormat 
values.
And the current numberformat value is applied when you perform any 
calculation (addition in your case).
