I am trying to set the Text to UILabel as following:

self.lbl.text = twoLinesLongStr + "\n" + anyText

The number of lines are set to 0 to achieve resizing and wrapping.

The problem is on adding the \n the word wrapping for the first string is not working properly.

Here:

In the first image why is the word "This" not on the first line?!

Same thing happen even when using storyboard to set text:

Oh hi matt, Its not it looks like this is the behavior. check this I think its related: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48940060/uilabel-word-wrapping-brings-extra-word-to-next-line-when-there-is-enough-space – hasan Oct 25 '20 at 17:52
you can try it urself. the constraints are good. – hasan Oct 25 '20 at 17:52
I edited the question. I reproduced on a new clean controller. @matt – hasan Oct 25 '20 at 17:58
the word "should" should be on the first line! @matt – hasan Oct 25 '20 at 17:59
Any ideas? :) @matt – hasan Oct 25 '20 at 18:02
I found this. it's called orphan word behavior. starting iOS 11 UILabel doesn't leave 1 word alone on a line @matt – hasan Oct 25 '20 at 18:28
@matt last image in question shows that. clearly – hasan Oct 25 '20 at 18:30
Everything that I have on that project is what u see in that last image of the question. constraint are 24 left 24 right. View as iPhone 11 – hasan Oct 25 '20 at 18:50
