Is there an issue tracker I can submit this to? https://bugreports.qt-project.org is the one you want. It might be the case that the bug already exists in there, but finding it might be more of a challenge than just reporting it again. It's probably useful to place a link in your report back to the archives of this thread, possibly to your first message: http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/pipermail/pyqt/2013-August/033155.html > I think in reality it is not a huge issue for users, although it's not > ideal.

Perhaps not, but changing the user interface now might confuse existing users, unless they are already confused, in which case changing to a QSpinBox might be a welcome change.
