A TextCtrl with wx.TE_MULTILINE in a BoxSizer in a dialog (see
attached wxPython example) is given zero height by default. This
appears to be GTK specific -- it has a sensible default height with
MSW and GTK2. It also seems that this only happens if the TextCtrl
is in a sizer (I've tried both BoxSizer and GridSizer) in a dialog
window (the same thing happens if there is an intervening Panel).
With no sizer, or putting the sizer in a Frame, the TextCtrl gets a
reasonable default height.

I tried the attached example and it works now (the default height is reasonable). Thanks for reporting.

Using a wxTextEntryDialog with wxTE_MULTILINE set causes this bug to occur in Ubuntu 12.04 (C++).

wxWidgets 2.8.12

This is almost certainly 2.8-specific, I don't see it in 2.9.

2.8 will not receive any updates and multiline text control works fine in the dialogs in both GTK+2 and GTK+3.

Please re-open if you can reproduce it with Git HEAD.
