multi-line-text-input-pane shorter than 10 lines height.

I want to have a small multi-line-text-input-pane, about 3-4 lines of text.
But I haven't been able to make one that is shorter than 10 lines high.
Well, I can make it look smaller, but it takes up the same height in the
layout. (thicker borders.)

this is LWW 5.0.1

Hi Asbjørn,

I just had the same problem and did the following

(make-instance 'text-input-pane 
               :visible-min-height '(:character 4)
               :multi-line-p t)

which works for me. I found this suggestion by searching the browsable
archive of lisp-hug at

Ah, this seems to work, thanks.
