The dialog requests you to do exactly that. Wjat is the bug here?

[Jeff Young (jeyjey)]

@Nick, the minimum width is the width of the smallest feature that should /not/ be pruned. We were treating it as the largest feature which /would/ be pruned (which should be min_width - 1).

Once you correct that, it's OK for the spoke width to be equal to the minimum width (just not smaller).

Works as expected. Thank you.

I just wonted to report (for 5.1.4) exactly the same title bug as this one, but I see that here title is not what in in the text.

The title: "can not be the same" - I wonted to report exactly this.
The bug text: "can be bigger".

5.1.4 is later than information here that it was fixed so I assume that bug described in text was fixed, but not the bug from title.

I think spoke equal to minimum should be allowed but if you try to set the same values you get message that spoke must be greater.

@Piotr, you have to look at the Milestone rather than the dates the comments were posted.

This was fixed in 6.0. It's in a risky area so it wasn't backported to 5.1.
