Question re. tool slider settings

This is just a general question regarding the values from the various tool sliders. As an example, when I drag the Threshold slider for the Fuzzy Select tool, I get the following values: 0.0, 4.8, 9.6, 14.4, 19.2, 24.1, 28.9, etc. Similar odd sequences of numbers appear for other tool options such as Feather Edges and so on. I'm just curious why these particular numbers appear rather than some whole number divisions such as 5, 10, 15, 20, etc.

Regards,

Make the tool pane wider, and you'll get other values. The slider simply subdivides the range into the number of steps the slider can make.

John:

Thanks for the explanation which makes perfect sense. It isn't a big problem, but I was curious as to why it operated like this.
