InputNumber: "-" sign on empty input is ignored #8548

Description

Describe the bug

When the InputNumber field is empty, focusing it and pressing the minus (-) key to enter a negative number causes 0.00 to be inserted automatically, and the caret jumps to the end of the input. As a result, it's impossible to enter a negative value directly. The user must first select and delete the entire 0.00 value and only then can enter a negative number.

I know that It worked correctly in PrimeReact v10.8.4.
