I'm fairly certain I tested that patch pretty thoroughly and it either a) got committed, and/or b) did not solve the issue of text resizing. I believe the problem is that when you delete the text from a textblock it deletes all formatting information too. So we end up with a textblock with no font settings to give the proper size hints. If someone has a workaround that is reasonable, there's no problem putting it in cvs.
