(Get the code!)
Wishlist? Isn't that a bit low for a genuine bug, and an annoying one at that?
I've noticed that in the low values of the line thickness control, for simple shapes, the displayed value *is* continually updated. I think it's related to the redraw speed of the shape that is being affected.
What appears to be happening while I hold down my mouse button is, for each value increase:
1. increase value
2. repaint shape with new value
3. repaint spinner box
But this process is interrupted when the value is increased again (apparently that happens asynchronously), and if it was still redrawing the shape at that point the spinner box is never repainted and the displayed value never updated. When the line thickness is low and the shape simple, my PC can repaint the entire shape before the next value increase, so the displayed value gets updated. If the shape is too complex, or when the line becomes too thick, it takes too long to paint the entire shape before the next value increase. I can actually see this happening: while I'm increasing the line thickness, progressively less and less of the shape gets repainted from top to bottom.
This could be as easy to fix as to make sure the spinner box is repainted first, and *then* the affected shape.
