Gtk.Label line wrap not working as expected

when width is sufficient to hold all characters

enter image description here

when characters exceed width

enter image description here

i have used set_line_wrap(True).There are two labels in each row as shown in picture, right label in each row has set_line_wrap(True), why is the label in the second row not starting from the beginning? when characters exceeds, i expect it to start from same position where it started before when characters were not exceeding.

Code:

 descriptionLabel=Gtk.Label(description)
 descriptionLabel.set_line_wrap(True)
Solution

  • Try setting halign to Gtk.AlignSTART and xalign to 0. This should ensure that both the label as a whole and each individual line starts at the very left of the available space.
