That is strange!  I don't see why maximizing the window should make
a difference and I don't have the problem when I maximize (but could be a
lot of variables involved).  The spin button callback is pretty simple and
is invoked the same way from Gtk whether you hit the spin button
arrows or use the mouse scroll wheel...

Does anybody else see this behavior?
