You could also have changed:

  m_scrolledWindow.set_policy(Gtk::POLICY_NEVER, Gtk::POLICY_AUTOMATIC);

to 

  m_scrolledWindow.set_policy(Gtk::POLICY_AUTOMATIC, Gtk::POLICY_AUTOMATIC);

I have come across this oddity myself previously.  (I know that in fact the 
scrolled window won't scroll because of the word wrap, but allowing it to 
scroll enables the word wrapping to work correctly, for some curious reason).
