@!$#&* (!int)slider won't let me submit

I was about to submit my wood stumps but it won't because I've put a slider where it wants an intslider.

I've done this very deliberately (I cannot find a way to use the intslider correctly).

To control the age/rings of the tree I use a curve-repeat component.
Not every year is the same so I've fed the same (remapped) control to the scale of a curve-noise that is used to offset the curve-repeat result.
So far so good.
Then I use the some slider control for the steps in a stairs component (to gradient) but FF doesn't like that. It is important for the stairs and the repeat component to have the same remapping. I could use an intslider for both of these but then I wouldn't be able to connect the noise curve to that same control.

I thought it would be just fine the way it is, because the filter works perfectly. I think it's stupid that I'm not allowed to submit because of such a small 'error'.
The only solution I see is disconnecting the noise curve, but that would give the filter a lot more 'unexpected results'.

Snippet with problem is attached.

Wait, how did you fix that? I've had the same problem, and I never figured out how to fix it.

::begs for the lightbulb that you got.::

Well I didn't actually fix it
I worked around it to get the effect I needed, which is random grey vertical stripes. Check these insides.
