Description

Bug
A bug I stumbled into is that the slider breaks (displays wrong) if the ngx-slider element or any of it's parents contain a CSS scaling transform rule (Eg : transform : scale(N) ; ).

Steps to replicate:

  1. Create a parent to contain your slider and set the CSS rule transform:scale(2);.
  2. Add an ngx-slider as a child to that parent.
  3. Load the page and attempt to slide the slider.

Reproduction: https://codesandbox.io/s/cool-darkness-tkbp0k?file=/src/app/app.component.html

Research direction

Start with the linked CodeSandbox reproduction, especially src/app/app.component.html, and reproduce the slider inside a parent using transform:scale(2). Trace the slider's display and interaction behavior under that transform; done means it renders correctly and can be operated accurately when the slider or an ancestor is scaled.
