When you change the caption of the label, if you've never set the width of the label explicitly, the label knows how wide it needs to be to display itself horizontally. The next time the sizer asks, it communicates this, and the sizer takes that into account when laying itself out. That said, I've found that with labels particularly, this doesn't always work, but I think it is at a lower-level than Dabo where it fails, and never looked very hard for an answer.
