I can see the real-time preview sliders when I create a new swatch (no preview checkbox visible), but when done and editing this swatch later, the real-time preview does not work.

Is Realtime Drawing enabled in the Preferences > Performance?

It is, it seems: I have a Geforce GTX 1660Ti (apart from the integrated Intel Graphic GPU).
