If you don't specifically set the width of the label, how do you expect it
to stop stretching? The label needs to know when to stop and when to wrap
(if you have Wrap set to enabled) unless you tell it where. You have to
remember that the control can not read your mind. If you put a long line of
text into it, it will display it because that is what you asked it to do. So
if you don't want the label to be more then 200 pixels, then
setMaxWidth(200) and your problem is solved.
