Text in table view cell not wrapping to second line

I have a cell which may have to display a long text. In this case it should wrap to a second line.

I have Lines set to 2 and Line Break set to Word Wrap in the attributes Inspector. The Interface Builder preview confirm that and behaves as expected/desired.

enter image description here

When building and running however the text is limited to one line and truncuates at the tail: enter image description here

Other changes in the attribute inspector seem to have no effect aswell (text alignment for example)!

If anyone is still having the problem.. Here's the solution for swift 4 Xcode 9 iOS 11

inside the cellForRowAt tableview function you just have to add a single line of code

cell?.textLabel?.numberOfLines = 0

The constraints might not have set properly for the UILabel. So, the UILabel will keep on expanding as the text increases.

  • Set the UILabel constraints with autolayout constraints or give a static width (or left and right properties).
  • Now in label attributes inspector set lines to 0
