When you call
Qt Code:
  1. qsb_fov_min_x->setValue(fov_min_x)
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
in resetFOV() you will cause update() to run via the valueChanged() signal. If update() changes any of fov_* members variables, for example reading all the slider values into the variables, then the next call to setValue() may not be using the value you think it is.
