I just upgraded to Big Sur from Catalina. The mouse action described in Greg
Vatt's email regarding the power slider anomaly also occurs in WSJT-X v2.2.2
after upgrade to Big Sur.

Subject: [wsjt-devel] Power Slider problem with macOS Big Sur
Message-ID: <d178094a-afed-466e-9eda-6bd5f19a1...@cox.net>

I upgraded to macOS Big Sur today on its official release. Everything was
checking out fine with WSJT-X v2.3.0-rc1 8f99fc and I was about ready to
attempt to make an on-the-air contact. I went to check the power level by
sliding the PWR Slider and that?s when I noticed the slider thumb action is now
inverted.
Here is the slider prior to any mouse-down action.
When first placing the mouse-down action over the slider thumb and then
moving the mouse up, the slider thumb actually goes down in the opposite
direction and the level increases to 0 db (it is now at maximum level output to
the radio). (Not captured in the screen grab is that the mouse location now is
actually at the very top of the slider control but the slider-thumb is at the
very bottom as shown.).
SUMMARY: The output audio level tracks the mouse-down location movement but
the control thumb location displayed is inverted.
The reverse also happens when the mouse-down movement is toward the bottom of
the slider but the slider-thumb moves in the opposite direction to the top of
the slider. This creates the HMI problem with the level of the output audio now
corresponding to its minimum when the slider-thumb is at its maximum level, and
vise-versa.
Another issue is that when the mouse button is released the slider thumb
disappears all together from the control as shown below. (It does reappear
eventually after clicking one or more times somewhere else on the window.)
No other findings:
The sliders in the waterfall window appear to move as expected and I haven?t
been able to find any other instance (in other programs) where the slider
behaves abnormally (still checking). This one slider in WSJT-X which controls
the PWR level appears to be the only instance of this behavior. I also
reverted back to WSJT-X V.2.2.2 and it also exhibits the same control issue.

PS: Bill, if you get this twice I apologize but I guess on my first attempt to
post this I used my other email account and it got intercepted for the
moderator to review before it would go through.
