I believe that the up/down arrows give the impression that clicking on them is the "proper" method of selecting a value and while some people know that you can type in a value into a spinbox, I believe that there are others who do not and I really don't want users to be metaphorically cursing my name when they are trying to click their way up to a port number of say, 23517. Also, using a simple LineEdit with color coding for indicating an unacceptable input is consistent with the rest of the interface.

  This has been done.
