Slider Bug in IE7 - Flickers on change

Slider Bug in IE7 - Flickers on change

I'm having a problem with the UI Slider in IE7. I'm using Jquery UI v.1.7.2.
 
The slider is a range slider with a minimum range set to prevent the handles from overlapping.  
 
When you are holding the handles to slide them the width of the range blows out to 100% width, but snaps back to the width it's supposed to be once you release the handle. This causes a very annoying flickering effect.
 
Unfortunatly I cannot provide a sample page but I have attached an image of what it happening if this helps.
 
It works exactly how I want it to in IE6, FF and Chrome.
 
Please help!
