I think that the slider issue may be related to the redesign I made of the widget. Maybe the single step (the amount that the value changes when the arrows are clicked) is set to a big value (the default) there and being bigger than the range nothing happens. I’ll check it tomorrow.
I also think that this options panel needs some improvements (alignment, bigger flexibility slider). @yetanotherpainter and others: what do you think would be a good increment for that slider? 1?
Do you mean the step size of the flexibility slider? It already has 0.1 steps. But a slightly larger slider would be good, then you can also see your arithmetic tasks in it
Or did your question concern the subdivide steps? If you want an even finer division there, I would not go beyond 0.1 steps. At least for me, that would be completely sufficient.
But I am not sure if I have properly grasped your question.

And in case anyone else is interested:
Have now tested 5.0.0 beta 1 e5fda5c on Windows 10 several times out of curiosity and I have not been able to crash this version either.
Then I got even more curious, and on attempts with the 4.4.8 Krita froze the first time, in the 24th run, however I had not freshly restarted Krita then, as I had edited another image before, but it was no longer loaded in Krita when it froze. In five further attempts with 4.4.8, for which I restarted Krita each time and also always created a new test file, I could no longer get it to freeze or even crash.
I think 0.1 is pretty good setting (version 5.0).
So if I set flexibility to 5 and I want to fine tune it (meaning to do slight adjustments) I can click one or two times and get slight offset. I would leave 0.1 as it is right now.
In terms of input fields improvements I would look further. There are some input fields that I can use sliding and there are some is not. What would be great if all input fields were unified and had same behavior.
I like input fields in Blender there you can slide and if you hold Shift the slider will move much slower what gives the ability to finer control.
In terms of steps for subdivision I think it makes more sense to live steps as 1. It makes more sense to have grid 3x4 than grid 3.3x5.4 - never seen this kind of thing really. At least in user interface (for calculations maybe - but user does not have know about it)
Ok forget that I said that input fields are not unified. They are pretty much unified. Though in “Select a Color” there are different type of input fields.
Would be nice to have sliding there too.
Basically revision of all input fields and making them all the same. That is my point. As an opinion
