[PD] numberbox bug?

[Lex Ein]

This behavior exists in 0.37.1 on Win2K, bug or not...
Duplicate number & Enter: leaves 3 dots, but always sends the #.

Worse, Enter alone resets the box to 0.

Worse, all number adjustments are sent (optional on Max)

Worse, there's no ABORT.  A mouse move to the sides of the box should 
abort and restore the previous value.

Proposal for numberbox behavior:

1. numberbox should Optionally "always send on mouse up"
    A usually static number can be resent without fiddling, and without 
a bangbutton sitting there.
    Adjustments can be "silent" : no intervening values sent.
    Adjustments can be aborted by mousing off the box.

2. 'enter' alone should Optionally RESEND, instead of clearing.
    So 'enter' isn't a DESTRUCTIVE FORCE.  Think about it: what editor 
uses 'enter' to destroy content on anything but fully and willingly 
selected text?

3. up/down cursorkeys should Optionally increase/decrease, like the mouse.

These are optional, so as to not break expected behavior.

So if somebody's already written this, please advise.
