While the commit message widget has a configurable fixed width, it nevertheless allows to write commit messages which exceed this limit. Though it does not show this content because there is not scrollbar for this widget. No it is.

There seems to be a bug in at least up to Tcl/Tk 8.6.8, which does not update the horizontal scrollbar if one removes the whole content at once.
