Text object doesn't widen to handle longer string





If a text object, when it first appears on screen (Vis part being 
built out), has a null string or a short string, it won't widen
itself properly when you replace the string with a longer string.

Adding HINT_EXPAND_WIDTH_TO_FIT_PARENT will work-around this bug.

Alternatively, you could stick in a string with lots of spaces 
statically.
