By using += with the text property of the buffer you are re-writing the 
wholebuffer on each change. You should probably be looking at one of the 
insertfunctions of Gtk.TextBuffer.
I doubt Vala is removing trailing newlines unless you are telling your program 
to, even if unintentionally! Your Vala program is using library functions so 
lookcarefully at these library functions' documentation and what they are 
returning.

You would want a 4 column grid and to make the width of the view3 and the width 
of the scale 1. A nice example
