Hello

Simply code :

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
{uses StdCtrls}
var
 i : Integer;
begin
 sTmp := 'Test';
 for i := 0 to 99 do sTmp := sTmp + LineEnding +
                            'Line '+ IntToStr(i) + 'gfhg jhgf jhghg';

 aStaticText := TStaticText.Create(nil);
 with  aStaticText do begin
  Parent   := Form1;
  AutoSize := False;
  Visible  := False;
 end;

 bStaticText := TStaticText.Create(nil);
 with  bStaticText do begin
  Parent   := Form1;
  AutoSize := False;
  Visible  := False;
  Width    := 5000;    {or other > Real width. Why ???}
 end;
end;

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
 aW, bW : Integer;
begin
 with aStaticText do begin
  BeginUpdateBounds;
  Caption  := sTmp;
  Visible  := True;
  AutoSize := True;
  aW       := Width;
  Visible  := False;
  EndUpdateBounds;
 end;
 with bStaticText do begin
  BeginUpdateBounds;
  Caption  := sTmp;
  Visible  := True;
  AutoSize := True;
  bW       := Width;
  Visible := False;
  EndUpdateBounds;
 end;
 Showmessage(IntToStr(aW) +'-' +IntToStr(bW));
end;                           

Result : 69-149 (149 is correct). It seem's that 69 is a default value.
You need to declare Autosize := False and a "big" width... and Autosize := True.

I suppose that it is a bug.
Regards
