Ok, after I took a look at your example I understand your problem. This case could not be solved with qooxdoo currently. The label auto-sizing, or better the preferred sizing do not respect any limits regarding the width or height. This means that the preferred height is calculated under the supposition that the width is unlimited - which is not true in your layout.
This is because it does not work. Currently the only alternative I see is to really use HtmlEmbed (all areas in one embed) and do the layout using typical relative positoned DIVs.
