Hi!

Is there something special to activate this? If I set a label with text that
has some "new lines" as tool tip, the full text is displayed but if I add a
label to my figure, only the first line is displayed vertically centered.

Cu, Gunnar

It sounds like you're not sizing the label. What layout is the label's
parent using?

For example, if the parent is in XYLayout, use -1,-1 as the width, height to
allow the label to be its preferredsize.

The parent is sized to a grid (fixed height and width) and the label is
sized to the parent. There is enough space to display more than one line but
not enough space to display the full line length.
