Slider yields float values when not dragging handles beforehand

[justomio]

Describe the bug

The PrimeVue slider turns integer values into floats, even when configured (min, max, step) to only use integer. The issue occurs on both non-range and range sliders. It is reproducable on the primevue playground (see link or attached file). The issue only occurs, when the user clicks on the slider bar, without dragging the handle. The values will then stay floats, even when dragging the handle.

The issues does not occur, when the handle is dragged before clicking on the slider bar.

Browser(s)

Chrome 133.0, Firefox 135.0, Safari 18.3

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Add prime-slider component
2. Click on the rendered slider (don't grab the handle!) with the slider handle jumping on the clicked position
3. The slider values will become floats, even if you drag the handle afterwards

This issue doesn't occur, if you drag the handle beforehand!

Expected behavior

The values should stay integers, as long as the slider has been configured as such.
