TextView size does not resize propertly on setTextSize

I have a TextView with both dimentions WRAP_CONTENT then:

1) I change the text size to 30 for example --> everything goes ok, the width and height of the view are correctly resized

2) then I change the text size to a smaller value (10 for instance) --> FAIL, the width of the view is wrapped to the content, but the height keeps beeing the same as before, not wrapping to the new text height.

It seems when the textView reaches a certain size, it's not able to return to a smaller size.

Note1: If I then force a fixed size trying to restore the wrapped view, it does so, cutting the text, not repositioning it.

Note 2: Tried everything to refresh the view. Setting again the LayoutParams does nothing

The code is simple:

final TextView t = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text);
t.setText("This is a Test");
t.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);

Button b0 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.boto0);
b0.setText("Change Size");
b0.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View v) {
        if (t.getTextSize()>20){
            t.setTextSize(10f);
        }else{
            t.setTextSize(30f);
        }
     }
}

with big text

with small text

Every time you set text do:

setText("I am a Text",TextView.BufferType.SPANNABLE);
