The slider NEVER affected recording level and caused far too many problems with
misinterpretation.
What you see on the meter IS the recording level and it cannot and should not
be changed from WSJT-X as that would all be in the digital space where you
don't want to touch things.
You want 0dB on the gain in your sound card and then adjust the rig audio to
get the 30dB minimum level. WJST-X shows you the result of those two things
and that's the only two things that need adjusting.

The change that disconnected the thermometer from the waterfall slider.
A number of folks set the input audio at any old level and adjusted the
slider to get the thermometer mid range. The change will force
appropriate level adjustment.
