Spinner widget continues incrementing when context menu is inadvertently opened #2013

Description

@mellguth

In the spinner widget, the left mouse button can be held down on the increment/decrement
buttons to keep incrementing the value. If a user accidentally presses the right mouse button
at the same time, a context menu opens and the spinner widget keeps incrementing even
if the left mouse button is released.
This is dangerous when controlling delicate parts of hardware, especially if the safe operating
range of the variable depends on the situation and therefore has not been statically limited in the
EPICS IOC / device server.
