Consider this test case: import QtQuick 2.5 import QtQuick.Controls 2.5 as QQC2 Item { implicitWidth: 200 implicitHeight: 200 QQC2.SpinBox { anchors.centerIn: parent width: 50 editable: true from: 0 to: 9999999 } } Enter "9999999" in the box and the text will overflow. It should be elided or clipped, at least, to mirror the behavior of a text field.
