Hi Federico,
FYI this behaviour is not dedicated to spinners. Textboxes, combos etc behave the same way and in grids beforerowcolumnchange event data validation checks need a this.value = this.value for currentcontrol. Another weird situation :

* combo.lostfocus
this.value = this.displayvalue
this.displayvalue = this.value

might be lifesaver in editable lookup combos.
