I agree that this can be quite annoying, and like the idea of using a function
key for manual update.

Heiko, please note that this bug report is specifically about validating, and
autocorrecting input during typing. There's no question that the input should
be validated and the spinner limits should be updated once the user is done
with the change (= the control loses focus).</pre>
