Allow up and down keyboard arrows to be used in the "Font Size" field

In the current version of the application, it is not possible to activate the "Font Size" field on the "Text Properties" panel by clicking and then change the font size of the text selected in the document using the keyboard arrows. This is very convenient for adjusting the font size to the font size already in the document.

Upd. Same with "Line Spacing" filed — by 0.1x step.

Upd 2. And "Font".

Hi Jensen Head,

the font size should respond to the arrow keys. This is a bug and we will squash it.
The intended behaviour is to use the arrow keys to select from a list, not increment the values as the other numeric fields do.

So when fixed the font size will work the way the line spacing does now.

The ticket for this bug is RT#6246: Font property for font size not respecting arrow keys
Best regards
