Text alignment top left doesn't work properly

Hi there. This is not something Amit talked about, but I tried it for my own. I'd like to place all quotes top left inside the UILabel, instead of vertically and horizontally centred. I've found a solution with

[self.quotesLabel setNumberOfLines:0];
[self.quotesLabel sizeToFit];

but this does not work properly. It crops my output-label horizontally, every time I reload the quote, without switching back to original width. Does anyone have a solution for that?

I would use the options available to you in the attribute editor within xcode and avoid doing this programatically when using storyboards.

Hi Ben. Thanks for your feedback. Yes, i would like to use standard options using storyboards, but I can't find any attribute to change vertical text alignment from vertical centered to "top". So I have do find a workaround.
