Description

I have a label that has a lot of text. Is there a way to have it auto-resize based on the width/height of the window?

Research direction
This issue asks about auto resizing a text label based on window size. The repository is druid, a Rust GUI toolkit. To implement this, one would need to explore druid's text layout and widget sizing mechanisms. Relevant files include the Label widget (likely in `druid/src/widget/label.rs`) and the layout constraints system (e.g., `druid/src/contexts.rs` or `druid/src/widget/lib.rs`). The issue lacks specifics on whether this is a feature request for a new widget or a modification of existing behavior. A maintainer should clarify the expected behavior and scope.
