Label trimming whitespace when height > 1

See original GitHub issue

The following code will strip the leading whitespace from the label:

Label appNameView = new Label() { X = 0, Y = 0, Height = 2, Width = Dim.Fill() };
appNameView.Text = "     how about this?";

Currently the WordWrap is implied based on the height of the label - not sure why…

Might be useful to be able to set a property on the Label to enable/disable WordWrap.

Great work @tig - now it’s looking great again 😃

No need for a wordwrap option that I can currently foresee.

Thanks so much!

Great. BTW, I tested (and fixed a bug regarding) using the Unicode non-breaking space char (/u00A0) as a way of forcing word wrap to not happen. Works great. Just do .Replace (' ', '/u00A0') to the Text.

@daltskin I believe I fixed your issue with #785.

I did it without adding an API to turn off word wrap: I just made word wrap work correctly by not stripping whitespace (and I fixed another bug that was related).

You good with this?
