Link to test case

Same code, just different versions of jquery
V3.7.0: https://jsfiddle.net/6jqh4pmb/1/ (fails)
V3.6.4: https://jsfiddle.net/6jqh4pmb/2/ (fails)
V3.5.1: https://jsfiddle.net/6jqh4pmb/3/ (This is working fine)

UPDATE:

Apparently this issue is shown when using bootstrap(3/4/5), bootstrap add this css:

* { box-sizing: border-box; }

jQuery works again if i add this css

tr { box-sizing: content-box; }

but since this worked correctly in 3.5.1 for me it is a bug,
It also fails with other css plugins, but I haven't figured out which styling affects it.

Thanks for opening an issue! It turns out our support test is not accounting for global border-box box-sizing. We can fix this by fixing the support test.

Note: we will fix it only in Chrome & Safari. In Firefox & IE it will remain an integer. This is because those browsers fail the reliableTrDimensions support test and we need to use outerHeight as a workaround - which does not return fractional values.

If Firefox ever starts passing the support test, it will automatically get fractional values here.
