Spin button changed events don't always get fired with keyboard-only entry

In an application, I've got a spin button which starts out with value == lower. If the user changes the value to be > lower, I enable the command button on the dialog. This works pretty well, except I don't always get a changed event on the spin button with keyboard only entry. Here's what I see: Select spin button entry and replace the contents: changed fires when I hit enter or focus out Select spin button entry, hit backspace for one or more digits and enter a new value: changed fires Click into the entry and insert a new number (changing it from 40.0 to 400.0, for example): the spin buttons change sensitivity because value != lower, but I don't get a changed signal! This is pretty bad, especially because my button isn't sensitive now, despite the value being within my acceptable range.
