ios - Multiline label in UIStackView

Question

When putting multiline label (with linebreak set to Word Wrap) into a stack view, the label immediately loses the linebreak and displays the label text in one line instead.

Why is this happening and how does one preserve multiline label within a stack view?

1. Embed the UILabel inside a UIView (Editor -> Embed In -> View)
2. Use constraints to fit the UILabel to the UIView (for example, trailing space, top space, and leading space to superview constraints)

The UIStackView will stretch out the UIView to fit properly, and the UIView will constrain the UILabel to multiple lines.
