That's unusual. Quick testing of my own image resizing does not seem
to have that occur. If you're sure that your requests are always
absolutely sane, you might want to put together a small test case as
it could indicate a pygtk bug, or maybe a gtk+ bug.

Is your TextView set to have a minimum height?

I suspect it has more to do with Python's dynamic typing. But you
might raise the issue with the pygtk folks [1].
