[MonoDevelop] Odd problem with a textbox

[Rafael Teixeira]

Well "Controls" just smells like WinForms and not GTK# that is the GUI
toolkit normally discussed here as we use it to develop MonoDevelop
and we have a GUI designer for it in MD.

In WinForms-land normally you have to set position and size properties
by itself for the control or you may be creating it outside the
visible surface of the form. In GTK# normally containers resize child
controls or themselves making some things easier.

In WinForms 1.x there's some support for "docking" that may automate
things for some cases, but you need to explicitly set the dock
properties. WinForms 2.0 has greater support for auto-layout
containers, but currently it is only partially implemented in Mono.

Hope it helps,

:)
