Details:

Similar to bug #21695, however, while I claimed Horizontal worked, it changed
the size only such that the first character in the string sent to the NSText
by setString is sized. The remainder of the string is clipped.

NSText *text;
text = [[NSText alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(0,0,1,15)];
[text setHorizontallyResizable:YES];
[text setVerticallyResizable:NO]; // fails with this YES or NO
[text setFont:[NSFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica" size:10]];
[text setString: @"Menu"];
[text sizeToFit];
NSRect bad = [text frame];

Result:
12 = bad.size.width

One may think that a work-around would be to manually set the frame after
multiplying it. This is not the case: Twelve pixes is APPROXIMATELY 1/4th the
size as the string is 4 characters. But that is only an estimation and exact
only with Monospaced fonts. Additionally, attempts to set the width AFTER a
sizeToFit call have not effect.

Summary:
 * Resized incorrectly (wrong width)
 * Cannot manually set width later (by design?)
