I just ran into that one last week on an SGI. Can someone explain what
does and does not cause the bug to occur? I'm using the same chunk of code
among several Top-Level Bases of an application and only one is causing
the uncontrollable growing. Btw, the Mac isn't afflicted by this.

Hi,
This might be where you should turn to Widget_Text instead of Widget_Label.
You have a lot more control over Widget_Text formatting than you do with
Widget_Label (as an example, the keyword WRAP exists for text widgets but
not for label widgets.)
