A) this did work previously
B) Most image software I use does give feedback. 
C) It does work if you press arrow/up down inside a spinbox (without leaving).
D) It does work if you scroll/up down inside a spinbox without leaving
E) It does work if you press arrow/up down buttons of the spinbox without
leaving

If we take this as a rule:  "While editing a value the depending are volatile
and must not be updated before finished" we end up cases C-E being bugs :-)

They only thing needed some code triggering a refresh for connected spinboxes
at each keypress inside the spinbox.. Which would mimic cases C-E..

You get live feedback; and the UI would represent the end-result when pressing
OK without leaving the control; The UI simply misrepresenting the actual case.
which is confusing.. Especially if other software does work this way and
LibreOffice being quirky exception.
