Hello all, I have a strange problem with the numeric stepper component…

I have a couple of numeric steppers on the stage, along with a button component that executes a function that uses their values. The only problem is - if I enter the number into the number stepper (not using the up/down keys) and click on the button without losing focus from the numeric stepper - it retains its old value. For example -

I select numstep1 and enter ‘1’  
I select numstep2 and enter ‘2’  
I select numstep1 and enter ‘3’  
Without clicking anywhere else - I press the button  
the function picks up numstep1’s value as ‘1’ and numstep2’s value as ‘2’ when numstep1 should be ‘3’. How can I work around this? ☹
