I am unable to reproduce this, I am using Qt 4.8.1, both on windows and
linux.

> Steps:

> 5. Press down-arrow once more.

> Observation:

> Observation:
> The value will now not rise above 0.28.

> Step:
> 7. Adjust the slider position using the mouse.
>
> Observation:
> The value can change to any value in its full range from 0.00 to 1.00.
>
> Step:
> 8. Adjust the slider using the mouse to go beyond 0.60.
> 9. Press down-arrow to decrease the value until 0.59.
> 10. Press down-arrow once more.
>
> Observation:
> 11. The value jumps down to 0.56.
> 12. It will no longer go above 0.56 using the keyboard (as before).
