Slider inconsistent behaviour with menu metadata

[sletz]

type = hslider("Enhancer type[style:menu{'222A':0;'maxx':3;'multiband':5;'Off':7}]", 0, 0, 7, 2);
process = type;

The outputted values are wrong.

Hi Stéphane, what are the expected values?
Since the hslider's step is 2, can we say that 3, 5, 7 are not valid numbers?
Faust UI checks them and outputs the nearest valid numbers: 0, 2, 4, 6

Possibly yes, but even before this question, the outputted values are not always the same. So even chosing 0, 2, 4 6 as is this example, I open the GUI, the select a menu item, look at the value in "data mode", and a given menu item does not always send the same value:

@sletz What's the plotting mode from your screenshot? with "continuous" there's no "data" view. So I'm not sure if it is broken, I cannot reproduce the problem from my side.

Using the "On Event" mode.

Then there should be a value change at sample 128 since "on event" mode plots from 128 samples before the event. (Maybe this need to be clarified somewhere..)
