Size of an object included in a text stretch

I hope all of you had a happy christmas and wish you all the best for the
new year!

But to stay at the topics discussed in this list I encountered the following
problem : I have a view which will adjust its size to width of the
surrounding text. Well, as long as the object is copied alone (by selecting
it, choosing copy out of the context menue and pasting it at another place),
it is possible to adjust the size. The object gets a 'Properties.SizePref'
(in which it can adjust its size).

Now when I select a text stretch containing this object, and I copy the
whole stretch to another place (especially with another text width), then
the object does not adjust its size (namely because it doesn't get any
'Properties.SizePref').

Question: Is there any other message which is sent to a visible object where
its size can be adjusted?

Thanks
Roger
