Silly Numeric Input issue

my input to this box is reversed and i cant figure out what ive hit to do it. every other box is the same with similar tags attached and dont do this.

what have i fat fingered? input below is 1234

Last time I saw this was because of a property change script that was writing things in the numeric field.
Anything of the sort on your component ?

no i actually deleted the component and copied one that wasnt doing it.. it then started doing it again. even remade the tag it was attached to incase something from that. still does it

There might be something else writing to it.
Try changing its name, see if it still does it. If it doesn't, then you'll probably start getting error messages in the logs saying that "some component doesn't exist". Find what's trying to write into it.
If it still does, then I have no clue.

still doesnt

Then it's time to show more details about what you're doing.
edit: wait, is the binding bidirectional ?

yes its writing the input to a tag.

turning off reject updates during edits seems to stop it, its like it cant update fast enough and writes the value back.

have i done something wrong here?
