Can't get UILabel's text to stay on multiple lines

Question

I have a UILabel that should display text on multiple lines in case that it's too long to stay on a single line. This how I set its parameters in interface builder:

But even by doing so, the text still gets truncated:

This is how I set the text at runtime:

    let text = "left button pressed 5 seconds ago, you may want to press another button now"
    let attributedText = NSMutableAttributedString(string: text)
    attributedText.addAttribute(NSFontAttributeName, value: UIFont.boldSystemFontOfSize(statusLabel.font.pointSize), range: (text as NSString).rangeOfString("left"))

    let paragraphStyle = NSMutableParagraphStyle()
    paragraphStyle.lineBreakMode = .ByWordWrapping
    attributedText.addAttribute(NSParagraphStyleAttributeName, value: paragraphStyle, range: NSMakeRange(0, attributedText.length))
    statusLabel.attributedText = attributedText

Like you see I even tried to add a paragraph style attribute to force the text to stay on multiple lines, but it doesn't work.

Answer 1

Check that you're setting the auto layout constraints so you have the top, leading and trailing spaces defined, but don't hookup a vertical height, the label will adjust itself based on the content.
