What is the current behavior?
When using a number input that has a defaultValue, you cannot enter a decimal value. When attempting to type a decimal, the cursor is moved to the beginning of the input. This behavior is not observed when there is no defaultValue given.

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a minimal demo of the problem via https://jsfiddle.net or similar (template: https://jsfiddle.net/reactjs/69z2wepo/).

What is the expected behavior?
The input should allow you to type a decimal.

Which versions of React, and which browser / OS are affected by this issue? Did this work in previous versions of React?
This is happening with React 15.3.2. It does not happen in 0.14.x

Hey! I fixed this with #7750. However it looks like it hasn't made its way to a release yet.

#7750 is not included in the 15.4.0 release as far as I can tell. At this point it might be too late to include it since the RCs have been out for a while, and #7750 is a change that we'd likely want tested in RCs before releasing.

Totally understandable. Please let me know if I can help in any way.

I think @gaearon is managing releases now? Not sure with all the recent roster changes 😄

Going to close this out as well, since it's essentially a duplicate of #7253 and a fix is already merged into master.
