md-slider thumb position does not move when value is updated by external data source #1386
Description
Bug, feature request, or proposal:
Bug
What is the expected behavior?
The slider's thumb position should be updated when an external data source updates the value of the md-slider.
What is the current behavior?
The slider's thumb position is not updated when an external data source updates the value of the md-slider.
What are the steps to reproduce?
Please refer to this plunk: http://plnkr.co/edit/sZHhzGHu5vg2lyj7B0On
I'm using property binding to link the AppComponent class's data property into a target element property (the md-slider).
Note that when an external data source (simulated in the plunk by an input field) changes the component's "level" property, the value of the md-slider (shown to the right of the slider) DOES update.
However the graphical md-slider thumb element DOES NOT update its position.
What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?
It's a bug.
Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, browsers are affected?
Angular 2.0 final.
@angular2-material/slider - v2.0.0-alpha.8-2 - Angular 2 Material Slider
