Well, do you know of a "real world" example for testing? So far I just 
made up one string that has no word-separators and one that has tons of 
newlines so I have an extreme for both directions. 

The label itself does do word-wrapping and the dialog does get a bit 
bigger, well let me attach a screenshot. That dialog has about half the 
size of my screen in each direction so is effectively 1/4th of the 
whole screen size. The original code tried to make the width nor more 
than 1/3rd so the dialog is actually a bit larger now in the worst 
case.
