You don't need to call adjustSize(). When the text of a label changes,
it invalidates its size hint by calling updateGeometry(). The layout
picks up this notification and lays out the widgets.

The behavior you want is the default behaviour of a wrapping QLabel.

The reason you might be seeing the problem might be that the layout has
a fixed size contraint or some top level layout has similar contraint,
which prevents the layout from growing.

Maybe you can send some simple code that doesn't work?
