Field 'slider' widget not rendering on creation/edit form after configuring Global Filter Block

Hello,

A little background:

I have a 'Height' field (integer list). Keys are measurements in inches, labels are corresponding height in a 'xft yin' format. I am using the Slide with Style module to allow the end user to input their height via a slider. I am also using the Views Contextual Range Filter and this module so I can display an exposed filter block on the same page as my view that will allow filtering by a height range (also using the slider widget).

All is well until I setup the Global filter block. It looks like this:

Filter Driver: field (my height field)
Widget to render the Global Filter: Inherit slide_with_style_slider from field Height
I have checked the 'Convert slider to range slider' checkbox

Before setting up the Global Filter block, the field on my node creation screen is a slider, as it should be. After setting up the Global Filter block as specified above, the field on my node creation form reverts to a txt field even though the widget is still specified as a slider. The exposed filter, however, works just as expected. The widget on the exposed filter is correct (slider with 2 sliders. Just the widget on the node form is effected.

When I look at the HTML output on my node creation form, I see the following

<div id="edit-field-athlete-height-select--2" class="field-type-list-integer field-name-field-athlete-height-select field-widget-slide-with-style-slider form-wrapper">
<div id="field-athlete-height-select-add-more-wrapper">
<div class="form-item form-type-textfield form-item-field-athlete-height-select-und-0-value">
<label for="edit-field-athlete-height-select-und-0-value--2">Height </label>
<input id="edit-field-athlete-height-select-und-0-value--2" class="edit-slide-with-style-slider form-text" type="text" maxlength="128" size="5" value="" name="field_athlete_height_select[und][0][value]">
</div>
<div class="slide-with-style-slider"></div>
</div>
</div>

The div with the 'slide-with-style-slider' class is empty.

It should look like this (I removed the Global Filter block settings related to this field)

<div id="edit-field-athlete-height-select" class="field-type-list-integer field-name-field-athlete-height-select field-widget-slide-with-style-slider form-wrapper">
<div id="field-athlete-height-select-add-more-wrapper">
<div class="form-item form-type-textfield form-item-field-athlete-height-select-und-0-value">
<label for="edit-field-athlete-height-select-und-0-value">Height </label>
<input id="edit-field-athlete-height-select-und-0-value" class="edit-slide-with-style-slider form-text" type="text" maxlength="128" size="5" value="" name="field_athlete_height_select[und][0][value]" style="display: none;">
</div>
<div class="slide-with-style-slider ui-slider ui-slider-horizontal ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all">
<div class="ui-slider-range ui-slider-range-min ui-widget-header" style="width: 0%;"></div>
<a class="ui-slider-handle ui-state-default ui-corner-all" href="#" style="left: 0%;">
</div>
</div>
</div>

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm not certain that the problem lies with this module, but since it works up until the point that I configure the Global Filter block, I am starting here. I have tried both the latest release and the dev release. I am using the most recent non-dev releases of the other modules.

Thank you!
