I see it as a hindrance to the flexibility of this type input. The spinner control is fine but why not let the user input the value they want themselves. Selectionstart and end allows me to control the restricted digit depending on the position. Maxlength not being supported is also questionable. I would think that developers would like to limit the number of digits in an input and avoid having to use custom javascript.

It could be purely a spinner control, for example. So there might be nothing to select. Or it might have multiple text fields, for example one per digit. 100211 2 ian 2014-02-10 21:17:52 +0000 *** Bug 24587 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
