Set entry size in a grid

[Eric Cashon via gtk-list <gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx>]

How do you keep the entries in a grid a set size? In GTK3.10 I could set the alignment property to center and the hexpand to false. Then the entry wouldn't expand in the grid. The same doesn't work in GTK3.18. I thought maybe it has something to do with CSS overriding properties but I don't know. Tried tweaking those also. The theme that I have is the Ubuntu default ambiance.

In the following test code I get all four entries expanded to the same size in the grid. Has anyone else run into this and have a solution?

Thanks,
Eric
