Hi,
 I think you need to post a minimal code example so we can see
how you are building the widgets. FWIW, you should not use a viewport
with a TextView.  Without seeing the code, the following is a likely
culprit.

This is wrong:
 my $sw = Gtk2::ScrolledWindow->new;
 $sw->add_with_viewport( $self->{TextView} );

TextView is a natively-scrollable widget, so adding with a viewport actually
breaks some of the built-in sizing and scrolling logic.

It should be
$sw->add ($self->{TextView});

Otherwise, post some code.
