Version:           1.6 RC1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 3.4.6 Gentoo 3.4.6-r1, ssp-3.4.5-1.0, pie-8.7.9

An Auto Field bound to an integer/number field is not given a "spin" style editor as described in http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kexi/2005-November/000031.html.

I should mention that this bug (and all others I have reported so far) were found using a file database and not a server-based one, in case it makes any difference.

We removed stinbox options compeletely. There were problems with usability, and for floating point values the you could even lose your data. For now we're using validated input in a text box, so for instance you cannot enter a letter character. Spinboxes may be reenabled in KDE4. So I guess I can mark it as LATER?

It should not be related. You safely test such things using file-based databases, what's faster (I am doing the same most of the time).
