Description
With revision [8660], spinner now has huge problems. Using FF 2.0 on WinXP:
ctrl + does not resize the arrows or their containing boxes.
A large font size used by visually imparied users does not resize the arrows accordingly.
High contrast mode does not show arrows at all.
With images off, the arrows do not show up at all.
These scenarios were all working well before this revision.

Checked in (to Autocompleter only) is another possible solution in terms of having a non-image-based-arrows that will scale. I'll send mail out tonight about the possible approaches and what I've learned. This will likely change again soon. (Note: no actual effect on Spinner at this time, this bug is for all of these types of problems).

Becky, can you verify what still needs to be done and reassign to me? Thanks

In consistent colors in high contrast mode on IE 7 Windows. Arrow and button text matches high contrast colors for combo button but not for other buttons (they are white text and arrow). It is ok on Firefox. See HC_ie.jpg attached.
Arrows shift when change text size in FF. I can live with this since IE 7 allows scaling and Firefox 3 will provide scaling as well. See largespinner.jpg
Combobuttons have sizing issues when font is scaled in FF. I had to increase size 3 times to see this - can probably live with if necessary See combobutton.jpg
accordionContainer arrows need to be updated to use new method - currently they do not work in high contrast and images off mode (can make a separate ticket).
Need to identify the active tab - perhaps with a border - right now it is just a background color.

Note that combobuttons are ok after resizing if you reload the page - this is acceptable.
Screen reader now speaks "question" for the down arrow on the dropdown button - separate ticket filed as there is a work around to fix this. Screen reader is speaking "question" for the html entity character. Generally these characters will not get focus and thus will not be spoken. The button is hopefully the only place where this will be an issue. #3032

Assigning to Sam Foster since he's working on it.
About focus on the spinner buttons: I don't think they should be able to receive focus. Keyboard support for spinner widget is done by using the up/down arrow keys (or by typing a number directly).

See patch attached to #3301 to address this ticket also. I've been able to test high contrast mode, but not screen-readers, however I've followed the implementation of other form widgets and am reasonably confident its good there.

Got a verbal ok from Becky that this checks out as fixed in Jaws, high-contrast mode. Focus handling is correct and resizing/font-scaling works. The patch (attached to #3301) has been merged, and it looks complete here, so I'm going to close this. Please re-open if I've misunderstood or there's still an issue.
