Bug: Right-Click does not reset the slider

Hey there,
just a little one again.
Right clicking a slider resets the real value, but not the slider. This only happens when the envelope feature is active. This issue "might" be linked to my last find in that region?

Hmm, when the Envelope is enabled, the slider controls the param's phase (envelope x position), not the actual param value.
So, I'd say this is expected behavior.
Setting the phase on reset can be problematic.
There can be cases where the parameter can't be set to it's default value using an envelope, for example if all envelope points are at 100%.
Or if the defaults can be represented in more places. Which one of those should the phase slider be set to?

Oh sorry...missed your reply.
hmm... I might not understand your point.
When I right-click a value button or slider... it always resets to it's default value. Like you see in the video....that's also the case here. But the value which is shown at the bold maker...does not show the marker value after a right click. But maybe I am just stupid

Int he Envelope the horizontal position is the input/phase, the vertical position is the output/param value.
The number you see there in the param thingy is the actual parameter value, but the slider is the phase percentage which controls the X position in the envelope. This can be confusing indeed.
In this shot, the param slider is at 50%, the small dot in the envelope is at 50% horizontal, the envelope says it needs to be at 90% vertical. This vertical position is your output value for the parameter.
There is narrow line for the parameter value on the slider at 90% of the param range:
Now, if you have a complex envelope like this one, there are multiple positions where you can get the 100% output value:
And this one you there is no position where you can get 100% scale as output:
In this case there is no way to reset the slider to a specific position which would represent 100% value position.
Does this explain it better?
