I cannot reproduce this issue. I think it was caused by RT-31306 which was reverted in RT-39047. There is some issues related to timings in GTK window creation, so it is possible that you were seeing something that I am not because of slight differences in timing. Going to close this as a duplicate of RT-39047

Kevin can't make this happen. Do you see the bug?

I did back out a change a while back that caused a razor thin TextBox, so we are back to the buggy time sensitive core.

There are a set of timing related issues with GTK as it tries to haggle with X11 over the window size, and reports the intermediate results up to the application. We start with a 1x1 window, and only later request a "real" size. This means that when the X server responds back with a tiny window and we report it.... then we later (hopefully) report the real size.... flash.
