Created attachment 84028 [details] screenshot showing spinner arrows Spinner dialog arrows are not auto-repeating when held down in any of the dialogs. Steps to reproduce: * Activate Format-> Page -> Page * Point cursor on the up arrow on Paper format-> Width * Press and hold down that on-screen button * Notice that the value goes up in one increment and never goes any further, no matter how long you hold it down. Tested as FAIL in RHEL 6, LO 4.1.0.4 (vanilla) Tested as working fine in RHEL 6, LO 4.0.0 (vanilla) Tested as working fine in Fedora 17, LO 4.0.2.2 (vanilla) Tested as working fine in Mageia 3, LO 4.0.4.2 (Mageia compile) Attached a screenshot showing what spinner arrows are. I suspect this would be called a "regression".
it works fine in 4.0.1.4 under Win7 64bit. probably a Linux specific bug. adding regression keyword according to previous comment.

Add: Tested as FAIL in Mageia 3, LO 4.1.0.4 (vanilla) Tested as FAIL in WinXP SP2, LO 4.1.0.4 (vanilla) ((under VirtualBox)) So it is not Linux specific. Need confirmation by someone else.
as said before my test were done on Win7 64bit. have your tests been done on 32 or 64 bit O/S?

thanks 4 info. I could make a test on WinXp 32bit but not before early september. I encourage other Linux users to try replicating this bug.
Tommy was reporting it as working fine, but in an OLDER version of LibreOffice, one I already reported as working fine. I am pretty confident this problem is a regression against 4.1 and on all platforms. However, I do need to also post a correction. The spinners are apparently not broken *everywhere*, as I originally reported, just in most places. There are actually places that they still work correctly. I assumed they were broken everywhere until I tested more dialogs in detail. Here are some examples from Writer: ----Broken: Format-> Page, EVERYWHERE Insert-> Frame-> Borders, Background, Columns Format-> Paragraph-> Text Flow, Outline, Borders Format-> Character-> Position Tools-> Options; LibreOffice-> General, Memory, View, Print, Colors, Writer-> Comparison Insert-> Index/Table-> Index/Table-> Columns New-> Labels-> Options File-> Print-> General ----Working: Insert-> Frame-> Type, Wrap Format-> Paragraph-> Indent, Drop caps Tools-> Options; Load/Save -> HTML Compat, Writer-> General, Grid, Table Insert-> Index/Table-> Index/Table-> Index/Table New-> Labels-> Format I didn't test everywhere, of course, and that was just Writer! It is broken randomly in Calc and Draw too. Quite a mess of inconsistency.
(In reply to comment #1) > it works fine in 4.0.1.4 under Win7 64bit. Sorry, it was a typing error. I meant 4.1.0.4. I confirm it works in Win7 64bit in many of the broken places you reported (I did not check them all). We need another Linux or WinXP 32bit user trying to replicate this.
Still broken in 4.1.1.2
@ crxssi You were right!!! Bug exists in 4.1.x versions(both XP 32bit and Win7 64bit) while the bug doesn't exist in 4.0.x releases. I was fooled by the summary notes: "UI: up/down arrow buttons don't auto repeat on many dialogs spinners" I thought you were talkin about arrow-key (that indeed do work) while after reading again the description, now I see you talked about holding mouse pressure on the spinner arrow. I'm changing status to NEW and adding a clearer description in summary.
adding UI and Writer experts to CC list. @Ivan and
@Ivan and Micheal who's gonna take a look at this recent regression?
sounds like problem would be in VCL anyway

I am verifying that this issue is, indeed, fixed in 4.1.2.3. Thanks!
