The problem turned out to be the thingy at the bottom of Xcode which lets you set constraints for leading, trailing, top and bottom, etc.
This offers constraints to the superview, which is not the box, but the content view of the box, which is not useful for constraints at all.
One could argue that it is a bug that Xcode offers this useless superview, or that it does not offer constraints to the box.
The solution is to control-drag from the item in the box to the box itself and then choose the appropiate constraint.

My guess is that you might want to remove the height=20 constraint. What about wrapping text?
