Hi

I just made a small test and commented the line
currentLabel->adjustSizeToText();
Then recompile QGIS master and tested it with a classical text box (not
html rendered) with a long text.

I personnaly prefer the behaviour when this method is not called : the text
box keep the size set by the user in QGIS. And the text wraps when it
reaches the right side of the Box. I even tried with "HTML rendered" on
(and my fake X Server running), and it worked well too.

At the contrary, when adjustSizeToText is used, the box is transformed in a
one line box, which goes to the right of the entire composition (out of it)
: text does not wrap.

So for me, simply removing the adjustSizeToText call would be enough. Or we
have to make sure this method does the job correctly, which may be a bit
hard to implement : we need to avoid to have collision with other
composition items, etc.

Regards
Michael
