Description

Ok, so anytime I hit arrow keys after focusing in on the slider, the slider breaks due to my value attribute being set to 0 in the onChange handler. Is this a known issue or is it just me?

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by focusing a slider configured with step={null} and pressing the arrow keys. Trace the keyboard accessibility path and the onChange handler to determine why the value becomes 0; done means arrow-key interaction preserves the slider value without breaking it.
