--- Comment #8 from Moriel Schottlender <[email protected]> ---
We didn't want to force an input on the user, which is why non-numeric input is
allowed (but invalid.) The only problem with 0's is that practically speaking,
an empty input and 0 are more or less the same, so 0 (or empty) assumes the
user *meant* to say they don't want to set values -- which means they wanted to
go with "default".

Changing the value automatically when the user inputs a non-numeric character
can be annoying if it was done by mistake. If I want to type 156 and I
accidentally type 15t, it wouldn't be very comfortable to have the widget
automatically make my values into default.

I think that the 0-to-default makes sense, but the other behavior will be more
of a hinderance to the user than help.
