1.TFloatSpinEdit is already fixed in my branch...need some time to test.
2.Second one fixing is in progress.
3. at Andrea , I didn't say that minimum version is 2.12, I just said that 
nearest version I have is 2.12.
4.It's not CentOS bug, it's reproducable on any distro with 2.10
5.I'm still wondering why Bart (who still uses 2.8) didn't run into such 
problem.
