This was due to an internal inconsistency with `get-char-width' and
`get-char-height'. I've pushed a repair.

Beware that, under Windows, `on-paint' is called before `on-size',
which means that the state update in your `on-size' callback happens
too late. I think it would be nicer if `on-size' reliably came before
`on-paint' but it's difficult to maintain those kinds of guarantees
across all platforms. One solution is to add a call to `refresh' in
your `on-size' callback.
