You're right, but i thought one could change this behavior if needed.
Actually if you type '49' (or anything) then leave the field (with TAB or a
mouse click) the action is not triggered. This conforms to the Cocoa reference.
I just read carefully the [sendActionOn:] reference and found out that only some
mouse events are checked. But nothing changes with stepper.gsmarkup : the
textField only acts when i press Enter.

And i can't check the MacOS behavior.
