This can mean you change the number you just entered without noticing.

Here's a screencast to demonstrate this, with testcase 2.

Here's a screencast to demonstrate this, with testcase 2. At 0:05, I start some repeated-scrolls of my scrollwheel, while inadvertently moving the mouse. Within ~1 second, the page is indeed scrolling, so it's easy to miss the fact that the very start of the scroll operation *also* modified the value that I entered.
