sorry, I've not submitted it on bugzilla. I found those issues in our Application and had no time to check if it is GTKMM or GTK issue.
The problems for widget packed into TextView are:
1. Button label is not shown when 've been chaned with same size text.
2. Incorrect frame border redrawing when frame is not fit the textview area horizontally.
Details in attached example.
