Public bug reported:

In ubuntu-system-settings and the indicators, we deal with values that
come from system services.  When binding to the value in the Slider
component, this can cause unpredictable behavior because we get property
notifications back that change the value while the slider is being
moved.  This has been worked around in ubuntu-settings-component by
creating a SliderMenu which used in the indicators and system-settings
for things using the MenuModel provided by the indicator services.  The
SliderMenu is based on the Slider for the SDK, but adds some logic for
handling this value binding loop.  It would be best to improve the
Slider to handle this sort of problem and reduce the amount of custom
components.
