Slider stopped working for web

[hwde]

After upgrade of flutter to a more recent version the slider stops sliding in web/html when used without "control". I use it as follows:

Swiper(
        itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
          switch (index) {
            case 0:
              return InfoPage1();
            case 1:
              return InfoPage2();
            ...
            case 6:
              return InfoPage7();
            default:
              return const Padding(padding: EdgeInsets.all(12));
          }
        },
        itemCount: 7,
        scale: 0.9,
        pagination: const SwiperPagination(
            builder: DotSwiperPaginationBuilder(
                size: 18.0,
                activeSize: 18.0,
                space: 9.0,
                color: Colors.black12)),
      ),

output of flutter doctor is:

Any idea on how to fix it? Before a "mouse click and move left/right" initiates a "slide" - now it doesn't notice the mouse click.
