I just created two issues on Balsa's Gitlab site, describing two misbehaviors; see 
<URL:https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/balsa/issues> (many thanks to Albrecht for 
alerting me to one of them!). Turns out that a one-line patch to GtkTextView fixes 
both of them, and I've made a merge request for it--no action yet🙄

Would it be possible to fix the issue outside Gtk, i.e. in Balsa's sources?  
I'm afraid it will takes ages until a fixed Gtk version is available in all 
distos, and the effect is really /very/ annoying…

The only fix that I know of is to set the GtkTextView margins to zero. You get 
/almost/ the same visual effect by using GtkWdget margins, which reserve the 
same space around the text, but it's filled with a different background color; 
in my setup it's a pale grey instead of white--not a big deal.

That change fixes both the no-shrink issue and the button-creep issue in the 
message window. It also fixes the no-shrink issue in the compose window when 
GtkSourceView is /not/ being used. For some reason it doesn't solve the problem 
when GtkSourceView is used--can't figure out why…

Pushed to master and the wip branches--I'd be glad to see how it works for 
everyone.

Peter
