Thanks for answer!
But in your example same problem!
If you pack wrapbox directly in to frame (without scrolled_window)
then, you can not change the height of the window to smaller than it was at
the start.

look at screenshots
this is window after start

and this is

after changing the width of the window, it should allow to reduce its
height, because there are many free space, but it does not.

With GTK3.0 i use little trick for that,
i store maximum allowed width in private variable, and in function
get_preferred_height_for_width
i always calculate height not for minimum width but for stored width.

There is how it looks like
    public override void get_preferred_height_for_width (int width,out int
minimum_height, out int natural_height) {

        /*workaround for min_height, if actual available width more than
self minimum width*/
        if( this.minimum_width!=width ||
        !(this.minimum_width==width && this.natural_width >= width) ){
            this.natural_width=width;
        }

        this._get_preferred_height_for_width(this.natural_width,out
minimum_height, out natural_height);
        this.natural_height = natural_height;
    }

where this.natural_width is stored maximum width.
Because get_preferred_height_for_width called several times , first time for
minimum width, others for allocated width,
and because while i resizing window, gtk always recalculate size , in gtk3.0
my window always have actual size.


As i'm understand, problem appears because of the following changes in gtk
container.c in GTK3.2

+typedef struct {
+  gint hfw;
+  gint wfh;
+} RequestModeCount;
+
+static void
+count_request_modes (GtkWidget        *widget,
+             RequestModeCount *count)
+{
+  GtkSizeRequestMode mode = gtk_widget_get_request_mode (widget);
+
+  switch (mode)
+    {
+    case GTK_SIZE_REQUEST_HEIGHT_FOR_WIDTH:
+      count->hfw++;
+      break;
+    case GTK_SIZE_REQUEST_WIDTH_FOR_HEIGHT:
+      count->wfh++;
+      break;
+    case GTK_SIZE_REQUEST_CONSTANT_SIZE:
+    default:
+      break;
+    }
+}
+
+static GtkSizeRequestMode
+gtk_container_get_request_mode (GtkWidget *widget)
+{
+  GtkContainer        *container = GTK_CONTAINER (widget);
+  GtkContainerPrivate *priv      = container->priv;
+
+  /* Recalculate the request mode of the children by majority
+   * vote whenever the internal content changes */
+  if (_gtk_widget_get_width_request_needed (widget) ||
+      _gtk_widget_get_height_request_needed (widget))
+    {
+      RequestModeCount count = { 0, 0 };
+
+      gtk_container_forall (container, (GtkCallback)count_request_modes,
&count);
+
+      if (!count.hfw && !count.wfh)
+    priv->request_mode = GTK_SIZE_REQUEST_CONSTANT_SIZE;
+      else
+    priv->request_mode = count.wfh > count.hfw ?
+      GTK_SIZE_REQUEST_WIDTH_FOR_HEIGHT :
+      GTK_SIZE_REQUEST_HEIGHT_FOR_WIDTH;
+    }
+
+  return priv->request_mode;
+}
+

so, container will recalculate it size only if
  if (_gtk_widget_get_width_request_needed (widget) ||
      _gtk_widget_get_height_request_needed (widget))

because of that, my trick don't working with GTK 3.2,
so, my question is, how to force the container/window  to recalculate its
size in gtk 3.2 ?

i try to use set_size_request and queue_resize (for container and for
window),
but this functions don't help.

I hope I have clearly described their thoughts.
