Bug Description
Binary package hint: inkscape
When increasing the value in a spinner box by clicking and holding the up or down buttons, the displayed value in the box is not updated. You have to guess when you have arrived in the neighbourhood of the value you want and then let the mouse button go, and only then is the value it has arrived at displayed.
For example, if you select a shape and open the Fill and Stroke panel and then click and hold the up or down button in the Width spinner box on the Stroke style tab, the line width is increased or decreased smoothly while you're holding the mouse button down, but the value in the box is not updated. Only when you let go of the mouse button is the new value shown. The same goes for the Miter limit spinner box.
This is suboptimal. The displayed value should be continuously updated while you're holding the mouse button down.
