"140" character indicator in timeline window truncates to "14"

[neilio]

If you resize the timeline window, the # of characters remaining in the entry field gets cut off and displays only "14" instead.

Someone else mentioned this once on IRC, but neither Zac nor myself could reproduce it (unless Zac has since). There must be some specific circumstance that causes this to happen sometimes and not others - until we figure that out, this will likely not be fixed!

Any idea what those exact steps to reproduce could be?

I've been able to reproduce this. The NSView was expanding/contacting with the window.

Since we resize the counter view when the character count is updated, we shouldn't need to have this auto resize ever.

Patch attached.

New patch with doesn't revert #11996

[earthmkii]

Old patch undoes #11996. We don't want that.

New one resets the NSView size to the string's size when the view bounds are changed.

...There has to be a better way of doing this.
