Let's start with "one" as a selected value, and press the Down Arrow button. Since it is based on a list, and majority of human writing systems start at the top and go down (unless we are in Australia), I would expect "two" to appear. But no, we see "four", wait, why? Yes, it might operate with an integer index and treat down arrow button as decrementing that index, but it is so wrong [citation needed]. I would expect that in a list spinner, clicking the down arrow button should navigate to the next item _in the list_ ("as written") instead of going "up" the list.

This is definitely unrelated to this bug, so should be discussed separately. I can see your point, but this would be more than just a bug fix -- it would be a behavioral change that we would need to carefully consider.
