[Interest] QLabel inconsistent sizing with word wrap

Answering my own question: 

Setting a fixed width overcomes the problem, and only the height changes.
Could someone who uses Git submit to the QLabel word wrap property: 

	Note:  Setting word wrap true without a fixed width and/or height
may result in inconsistent sizing.
