We already talked about the next step in IRC, so this is just a
formality.

We are now focusing on resolving item 3 since without it it's hard to
resolve the other issues.  ScInputWindow is not resizing on button push
because we are not resizing it.  We need to explicitly resize
ScInputWindow on button press since there is no automatic resizing of
any sort with the VCL controls.

When ScInputWindow gets resized, it will in turn resize its immediate
child control ScInputBarGroup, which will resize ScMultiTextWnd, in this
order.  Let's get that resolved first, before looking into the other
issues.

Meanwhile your patch has been committed & pushed to the feature branch.
