Blender Version
Broken: v2.82a and blender-2.90-f9d0f59bed4d-windows64

Short description of error

If you hover the Transform sidebar panel for an Object and press E while hovering Location, Rotation or Scale the cursor freezes as the horizontal increment cursor: ⤄ .

If you click the mouse, or click, hold and drag the mouse, anywhere on the interface the data is overwritten with RGB value under the click.

Would expect it to possibly copy the same data values from another object or another data path. That is not what is happening.

Update: it's copying the RGB colors data under the cursor to the XYZ components of the data path.

This may or not be intended. Regardless if intended or not, the cursor is displaying incorrectly

Looked into this, there are two issues:

XYZ are eye-dropping color.
The cursor isn't properly set.

I checked on fixing the cursor issue, a fix for this will be quite messy as closing ui_handlers is restoring the previous cursor after the operator invokes.

A workaround for this could be to set the cursor in the operators modal function (as well as init), this won't be nice and there will be a user visible flicker.

We really should have a cursor API which is aware of different cursor priorities.

Edit, committing a workaround for this shortly.
