New UI. Why?

Re: New UI. Why?
I must be doing something horribly wrong but when I type the entered digits do not appear, and the existing figure does not change. Only the spinner works.
Re: New UI. Why?
Does the control whose content you want to change have focus (on windows this should show as an highlighting box around it)? If not, how do you try to set focus? Clicking on it, or using the keyboard? If it has focus, do you see a blinking cursor beside the number?

I am not THAT dumb
Re: New UI. Why?
I asked questions, so that I could get answers that might lead me to help you out or find a bug in the code. I am the programmer who wrote the software you are trying to use.
Just so you know.

Re: New UI. Why?
I am used to being able to type text into spinners.
When I am in the autoban will last time, the digits that I key in do not change the text in the spinner control.
I am out of ideas how else I can explain it.
I type but the value does not change. I use up and down arrows and the value changes.

Re: New UI. Why?
It's the little details. Some examples:
How do you give focus to the control: Tabbing in, using the mnemonic, clicking via mouse, leaving smudges on touch display, or focus via hover, anything else?
How are you typing the numbers: Actual keyboard, on-screen display, or any third-party input method editor (IME) program, anything else?
Any third-party software or driver running in the background that doesn't natively come with Windows? If so, what happens if such software is uninstalled?

Re: New UI. Why?
Also, does it happen with any other numeric control? With all of them? With just a few? In this last case, which ones?
Re: New UI. Why?
It's a regular Windows server. Of the rest I have no faintest idea. I have no way of knowing what is in the background or what natively comes with Windows or does not.botg wrote: ↑2022-09-01 07:25How do you give focus to the control: Tabbing in, using the mnemonic, clicking via mouse, leaving smudges on touch display, or focus via hover, anything else?

But we are approaching the issue from a wrong angle. When you type into the spinner, does the value change? How do you do it?
Re: New UI. Why?
I am talking about other controls in the same application, not other applications.
You type the number by clicking with the mouse into the control (or focusing the control by any other means) and typing the numbers in. The question about whether the control has a box around it that differentiates it from all the others is an important one: it indicates that the control has focus.

Re: New UI. Why?
No spinner accepts typed digits in Filzilla admin. I also am not able to paste numeric values into them. Other applications are fine.
Re: New UI. Why?
Which keyboard layout do you have?
Re: New UI. Why?
Is US English a layout? I am not sure.
Re: New UI. Why?
Would you be willing to try out a debug release with additional log, which should help understand where does the issue lie?
Re: New UI. Why?
No need. Rebooted the box that has been up for many months. Now, the spinners accept the input as any one should. Do not ask me why whatever it had been did not affect other apps like Pidgin! Forgive me but seeing how they worked in one app but not in another I had no reasons to suspect anything else.
