      The value in numeric input fields can be changed
      by highlighting the value, holding down the left
      mouse button and moving the mouse.

      Unfortunately, this often leads me to accidentally
      change a value.

      Affinity's approach is to click on the left outer side of
      the number field and then move the mouse while holding down
      the left mouse button. It is not even necessary to select
      the value first.
      .
      .
      Two additional minor things:
      I also miss an indicator that a value can be changed this way.
      But this is not that important. At some point you know that
      this is possible.

      Furthermore, it would be nice if you could change the value
      only moving horizontally "left/right". But I think this may not
      easy since we don't move a mouse exactly horizontally, or vertically.

      I'm adding a video here that shows the Affinity approach in the first part.

            @Subpath Currently, the value scrolling only starts when the mouse is dragged outside of the number frame.

            Is this the case for you also?

            A small recording would help to identify which number field is having issues.

              ...Currently, the value scrolling only starts when the mouse is dragged
              outside of the number frame. Is this the case for you also? ...

              yes that's how it is,
              if I just click in the number field the number is selected

              but I have the old habit of selecting the numbers by pressing
              the left button and dragging over the numbers to select them
              and then this unintentional scrolling of the values ​​happens
              .
              .

              The video above is in two parts, the second part starts at 0:27
              and shows how it works in VectorStyler

              in the video I use the Horizontal Scale field in the Transform panel
              but I could record another one

                @Subpath Got it. this occurs if highlighting in a field that did not have the focus.
                I will try to find a solution for this.
