No problem. :)

Hmm.. Maybe QLabel wasn't a good choice after all, since there is a
need for scrolling. You could try to change the QLabel to readonly
QTextEdit (set the readonly property to true). QTextEdit provides
scrollbars, so it can be fixed size and doesn't mess with the other
widgets in the layout.

I don't think you need to touch the layout, if you just use a widget
that can be fixed size.
