What might be wrong?

The B_AUTO_UPDATE_SIZE_LIMITS flag on the window is probably doing that. Try 
without the flag and set a reasonable size on the window like:
SetSizeLimits(400, B_SIZE_UNLIMITED, 300, B_SIZE_UNLIMITED);

That's what they call chaos programming. The mechanism you disable this way ensures that the size limits of your views propagate to your window. It is a very useful mechanism and off the top of my head I can't think of a reason for disabling it.
