TestCase

There is a inconsistent behaviour in this conditions:

 - a GtkTextView is inside a GtkScrolledWindow
 - the text view wrap mode is GTK_WRAP_WORD_CHAR
 - the scrollbar horizontal policy is GTK_POLICY_NEVER

If the user types a long word, for example pressing many times the same character until the text reaches the right side of the widget, the scrolled starts to resize.  After an arbitrary number of characters, the text starts a second line and then resize the widget a bit more.

If the horizontal policy is changed by GTK_POLICY_AUTOMATIC, the text wraps ok.

I attach a testcase using the Python bindings.
