Hello Justin,
Yes, I created a new project from scratch to double check, no improvements. At the moment, I don't have another machine at my disposal to check if that a MacOS specific thing. However, I noticed one interesting thing.
In the video that I attached, the cursor turns into the value-change shape when I point at the float field. But if I slide the cursor onto that field slowly from the top, there is like a pixel-wide zone when the cursor doesn't turn into "change-value" and if clicked, the variable edit window opens. ?
