Actually, I just played around with textviews in stetic, and
discovered that adding a textview to a container that's not a
ScrolledWindow  *automatically* adds a ScrolledWindow without a
viewport. Adding a textview to a ScrolledWindow does insert a
viewport, which can be seen in the .stetic file (xml) but is not
accessible from the designer.

Fortunately the workaround is simple; just skip adding the scrolledwindow.

This is clearly a bug in stetic; could you file a bug report?
