Steps to reproduce:

  1. Swith to "develop" tab
  2. Only Hover over a slider: example "exposure"
  3. Move the mouse

I have an update.  Apparently it only happens when you use a Mask.  In My Case, the select subject -> invert mask and when the mask is selected.
This is really bad!  I have a client that is expecting their images by next Friday and Lightroom has become unusable!!!  Where's the QA testing?!?!?!?!?

Is the actual exposure slider changing value, or is this an apparent visualization as you see something change in the image. 

 

What I am getting at, when you mouse hover, does the mask overlay show up (when you had turned that off), and depending on overlay appearance/color, giving you an impression that exposure changed.

 

A video capture might help.

Also check to see if any of your keyboard keys are stuck in the pressed postion.

If the other suggestions don't help, try resetting LR's preferences:

LR sometimes soils its preferences file, and resetting it can fix all sorts of wonky behavior. That article explains how to restore the old preferences if resetting doesn't help.

In preferences, turn off use GPU, see if the odd behavior goes away.

Another possibility, the mouse, do you have another to swap out?

P.S. You are not perhaps touching the up or down key?
