Inconcistencies using sliders and spinners with keyboard

Ohoj.
Moore and moore I use the keyboard when editing images with The Gimp and I have found what I believe is an inconsistency.

For example changing different values using Unsharp Mask: If have the spinner in focus and hit the up-arrow increases the value and hit the down-arrow decreases the value. But having the spinner in focus and hit the up-arrow DECREASES the value and hit the down-arrow INCREASES the value.

Is this behaviour made by decision?

btw, I know I can use right- and left-arrow.

You are contradicting yourself here? Is there a negation missing somewhere or did I miss something?

This would be a GTK+ issue. This is just a standard GTK+ widget. Or do other GTK+ applications don't show this problem?

This should be more correct:
If the SPINNER is in focus and I hit the up-arrow it increases the value and if I hit the down-arrow it decreases the value. But having the SLIDER in focus and hit the up-arrow it DECREASES the value and hit the down-arrow it INCREASES the value.

Haven't found an app to test, with spinner and slider, that I use.

I can confirm this behaviour.

I've tried some apps and they are consistent with Gimp behaviour, so of course this would have to be handled on GTK+ side.
