title: ios - list items have text cut off after a certain length
body: <p>I have a list view that sometimes has long text. When the text is a few paragraphs, it tends to get cut off at some point. Part of the strange behavior is that it does not always get cut off at the same character, but kind of random.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the code that I use to populate the list:</p>
  
  <pre><code>// CREATING EACH CELL IN THE LIST
  - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
  {    
      //static const NSInteger kLabelTag = 1;
      UITableViewCell *cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:(UITableViewCellStyleDefault)
              reuseIdentifier:@"business"];
  
      NSString *comment = [[items_array objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]] objectForKey:(@"comment")];
      NSString *first_name = [[items_array objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]] objectForKey:(@"first_name")];
      //Boolean *is_private = [[items_array objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]] objectForKey:(@"is_private")];
  
      // Creating a constraint size for the label you are making
      CGSize constraint = CGSizeMake(320 - (10 * 2), 20000.0f); 
  
      // Determining the size that you will need for the label based on the comment
      // length and the contraint size
      CGSize size = [comment sizeWithFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:14] constrainedToSize:constraint lineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap]; 
  
      //  Creating the label and initializing it with the frame that you have
      //  determined by your size calculations above
      UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, MAX(size.height, 44.0f) + 20.0f)];
  
      // setting up the label properties
      label.numberOfLines = 0;
      label.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;
  
      standardUserDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
      NSString *is_private = [standardUserDefaults objectForKey:@"is_private"];
  
      if ( is_private == nil )
      {
          label.text = [first_name stringByAppendingString:[@": "  stringByAppendingString:comment]]; // comment;
      }
      else
      if ( [is_private isEqualToString:@"0"])
      {
          label.text = [first_name stringByAppendingString:[@": "  stringByAppendingString:comment]]; // comment;     
      }
      else 
      {
          label.text = comment;  
      }
  
      // adding the label view to the cell that you have created
      [cell.contentView addSubview:label];        
  
      // CLOSE THE SPINNER
      [spinner stopAnimating];
  
      // return the cell for the table view
      return cell;
  }
  
  //This method will determine how tall each row needs to be. Cell size for word wrapping.
  - (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;
  {    
      NSString *comment = [[items_array objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]] objectForKey:(@"comment")];
  
      // Again you are getting the constraints because you are going to us this size
      // to constrain the height of the cell just like you determined the size for the label.
      CGSize constraint = CGSizeMake(320 - (10 * 2), 20000.0f);
  
      // Again, determining the size that we will need for the label, because it will drive
      // the height of the cell
      CGSize size = [comment sizeWithFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:14] constrainedToSize:constraint lineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap]; 
  
      //  Finally, we can determine the height for the cell!
      CGFloat height = MAX(size.height, 44.0f);
  
      //  return the height, which is the height of the label plus some extra space to make
      //  it look good.
      return height + (10 * 2);
  }

  <p>Does this code have anything particularly incorrect with it? Or is the problem possibly rooted elsewhere?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
