Just upgraded to the new 2.6...

when setting focus to a spinbox, the setfocus() method is not automatically
selecting the existing value, so any keys entered are concatenated alongside
the existing value, rather than overwriting it.

For example, if the spinbox has a value of '1', and I press a 3, the
resulting value is "31" rather than "3". This can sometimes be handled by
toggling the Insert key, but not always. Is there a way simply to get
around this by forcing the setFocus method to select the value already in
the spinbox?

Thanks,

Lee Camp

Try setting the spinbox's "selectall" property to True. This should be
the default but....
