NSAttributedString ignores Autoshrink and numberOfLines for UILabel (iOS 6)

Question

I have UILabel with number of lines = 2 system font size = 15 minimum font size = 8 Line break mode - Truncate tail

When I set long text which have type NSString for UI

Answer 1

I found a way to do this:

label.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = true
label.attributedText = attributedString
label.lineBreakMode = .ByTruncatingTail // this did the trick!

It only works if the third line is set after setting the attributed string. It seems like the attributed string overrides line break behavior when set (among other things).
