Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Compile and run attached MXML file (or run SWF).

Actual Results:
If TextField is only displaying the star, it is 25x23 pixels. If you hit backspace in the TextInput control, the Label is still the same dimensions.
Oddly, if you type two periods "..", the size shrinks to 15x23.

Expected Results:
an empty label (or label with only one character) shouldnt take up 25 pixels.

Workaround (if any):
none found so far.
