Exactly.

Replacing nested text views with labels fixes the scrolling, so I guess
your analysis is right.

If we wanted to get nesting of idle-resizing widgets right, I guess we
would have to adjust the idle priorities depending on the nesting depth.
Preferably using floating point values as priorities:

priority for text view at depth n = G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT_IDLE - 1/n
