A `text-field%' is internally constructed as a panel and an
`editor-canvas%'. The minimum width and height are configured after the
pieces are created. I'm not clear on why the frame size bounced, but
the GUI toolbox unnecessarily updating the window layout for the
intermediate states of `text-field%' construction. The repair was to
wrap the internal creation and configuration of a `text-field%' with
`begin-container-sequence' and `end-container-sequence'.
