well don’t use the pin-thingy then, do what I said in the mail I sent you earlier. Control drag between the label and the box in the outline list at the left of the screen. There are two possibly choices for the label, if one doesn’t work, use the other. The box on my screen was handily labelled ‘box’. You get a popup list of constraints, you pick the ones you want, you have now constrained the label to the box.

Had to pin the top corner of the box somewhere and give it a width constraint so it knew where to put it, but it resizes as you change the font on the labels.
