Description

If setting either the width or left and right values of a label the text will be truncated when you change the fontWeight of the label. If width or left and right are omitted it resizes the label correctly after changing the fontWeight. The label container is "showing" the right size, but text gets truncated anyway. 
var testLbl = Ti.UI.createLabel({
	text: 'Some semi-long text',
	font: {
		fontWeight: 'normal',
		fontSize: 13
	},
	backgroundColor:'#f00',
	color: '#000',
	textAlign: 'center',
	top: 60,
	// left: 10,
	// right: 10,
	width:'90%'
});
setTimeout(function(e){
	testLbl.font = {
		fontWeight: 'bold',
		fontSize: 13
	};
	//text gets truncated
}, 1000);

    I believe it has more to do with changing the fontWeight dynamically from "normal" to "bold". If you set the fontWeight to Bold initially and then change it to Bold dynamically then also it works fine. So it appears that the size is being not calculated when the fontWeight changes.

    Moving this ticket to engineering as I can reproduce this issue with the following test case. 
       var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({fullscreen:true});  
   
   var testLbl = Ti.UI.createLabel({
       text: 'Some semi-long text for testing',
       font: {
           fontWeight: 'normal',
           fontSize: 13
       },
       backgroundColor:'#f00',
       color: '#000',
       textAlign: 'center',
       top: 60,
       left: 10,
       right: 10,
       width:'90%'
   });
   
   win.add(testLbl);
   
   
   win.addEventListener('open',function(){
   	setTimeout(function(e){
   	    testLbl.font = {
   	        fontWeight: 'bold',
   	        fontSize: 13
   	    };
   	    //text gets truncated
   	}, 2000);
   });
   
   win.open();
