TableLayout has a TextView and EditText on each row. When EditText has a multiple row, TableRow wraps it but when TextEdit, it doesn’t..

Simplyfied layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:shrinkColumns="*" >

    <TableRow>

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView1"
            android:text="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur" />

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/textView2"
            android:text="Foo" />
    </TableRow>

    <TableRow>

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView3"
            android:text="Foo" />

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/textView4"
            android:text="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur" />
    </TableRow>

</TableLayout>

Renders:Render 1

But when both controls are TextEdit, it renders correctly.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:shrinkColumns="*" >

    <TableRow>

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView1"
            android:text="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView2"
            android:text="Foo" />
    </TableRow>

    <TableRow>

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView3"
            android:text="Foo" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView4"
            android:text="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur" />
    </TableRow>

</TableLayout>

Renders as: Render 2

What should i do for Android to render first layout correctly?

Ps: I have already tried to add android:layout_width="fill_parent",android:layout_height="wrap_content” attributes to TableRow, TextView, EditText controls, nothing has changed.
