Increment in Shiny numericInput is 2 despite step = 1 in macOS Catalina

Assume you have a numericInput in your Shiny application.

library(shiny)
ui <- fluidPage(numericInput(
    "input",
    "n",
    value = 2,
    min = 2,
    max = 10,
    step = 1
))
shinyApp(ui, function(input, output) {
    observe({
        str(input$hadley)
    })
})

If you run this application and click the up or down arrow within the numericInput box, it will increment by steps of twice the value in step. Did I miss something when I use numericInput?

After some research I found that it has been reported a bug and seems this is only an issue in macOS.

One of the solutions mentioned by NickPyll (which is, of course, obvious) is to set step to half your actual step. At least for now it works in my application.
