Summary

0001562: default size of a null CLabel is large.

Description

if you pass an empty string ('') to a CLabel>>label:,
the resulting CPlayer has a size substantially larger than if you pass a non-empty string such as 'hi' or ' '.

if you specify the label's resizing to be #shrinkWrap, the results for empty and non-empty strings are consistent.
which is an argument for making #shrinkWrap the defaulkt resizing mode!
