Cover block: unlock ability to set specific percentage on overlay #82083

Closed as duplicate

Description

What problem does this address?

Currently it seems impossible to set a specific percentage on the overlay in a Cover Block. It snaps to the nearest 10 value and there doesn't seem to be a way to override this.

For example, it's impossible to set the overlay to 93%. It snaps to 90%.

This can be crucial for making text accessible by making the background dark enough.

Also, I'd expect to be able to set percentages on other controls as well. I don't see a good reason why this one is snapping to the nearest 10.

    Thanks for raising this @davewhitley! This looks related to #51625, which tracks the same behavior (the overlay opacity control snapping to steps of 10). There's an open PR (#59891) that's already exploring a fix, might be worth taking a look at that discussion too.
