2017.2.1p3 - Slider Undo in Editor -- !@#$

So it looks like there was a bug 960531 that was reported and marked fixed for 2017.3.0p1:

(960531) - Editor: Fixed dragging slider causing creation of too many undo steps.

How come that change didn't make it to other branches of the editor!? I'm on 2017.2.1p3 and I _cannot_ undo a slider change and sometimes I just want to test something.

When will this be ported to other releases? It's been over 2 months now...

 

I would also be interested in the fix for this very annoying issue. In the issue tracker there are this and this issue (and a third one is mentioned in the comments), both marked as duplicate, without linking to the actual issue.

Can we please get a patch for this?

 

.3 shouldn't really break a .2 project so it might be worth trying a copy of the project on it, or chasing Unity with more bug reports.

 

The issue is definitely present in .3, and all the issues that I could find in the Issue Tracker (see links above) are marked as "Duplicate", without pointing to the issue of which they are duplicates. I am not fond of wasting my time on writing bug reports that will only be marked duplicate, I'd rather discuss what can be done in the forum.

 

I've just found out that it is fixed in 2017.3.0p1, pointing to issue #960531, without a link (interesting).
I checked and it works.
