[android-developers] Re: Layout for zero-length strings in TextView

I remember noting this as a difference in Honeycomb compared to old
Android versions. You might want to try in a Honeycomb (and even ICS)
emulator as a reference. And I would love for a Google Android
engineer to chime in as to why the behavior or TextView changed --
this is not an insignificant change.
