谢谢你写这篇文章。这对我帮助很大。在我的例子中，我也在一个单独的视图控制器中编辑文本。我注意到当我使用:

[cell.contentView addSubview:cellLabel];

在tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:方法中，每当我编辑单元格时，标签视图不断地在前一个视图之上呈现。文本变得像素化，当某些内容被删除或更改时，旧版本在新版本下可见。下面是我解决这个问题的方法:

if ([[cell.contentView subviews] count] > 0) {
    UIView *test = [[cell.contentView subviews] objectAtIndex:0];
    [test removeFromSuperview];
}
[cell.contentView insertSubview:cellLabel atIndex:0];

不再有奇怪的分层。如果有更好的处理方法，请告诉我。

根据iOS7更新

// If description are available for protocol
protocolDescriptionLabel.text = [dataDictionary objectForKey:@"description"];
[protocolDescriptionLabel sizeToFit];
[protocolDescriptionLabel setLineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];

CGSize expectedLabelSize = [protocolDescriptionLabel
               textRectForBounds:protocolDescriptionLabel.frame
               limitedToNumberOfLines:protocolDescriptionLabel.numberOfLines].size;
NSLog(@"expectedLabelSize %f", expectedLabelSize.height);

//adjust the label the the new height.
CGRect newFrame = protocolDescriptionLabel.frame;
newFrame.size.height = expectedLabelSize.height;
protocolDescriptionLabel.frame = newFrame;

一行是克里斯的答案是错的。

newFrame.size.height = maximumLabelSize.height;

应该是

newFrame.size.height = expectedLabelSize.height;

除此之外，这是正确的解决方案。

在iOS 6中，苹果为UILabel添加了一个属性，极大地简化了标签的动态垂直大小调整:preferredmaxlayoutidth。

将此属性与lineBreakMode = nslinebreakbywordwrapped和sizeToFit方法结合使用，可以轻松地调整UILabel实例的大小，以容纳整个文本的高度。

引用iOS文档:

preferredMaxLayoutWidth 多行标签的首选最大宽度(以点为单位)。 讨论 当对标签应用布局约束时，此属性将影响标签的大小。在布局过程中，如果文本扩展到超出此属性指定的宽度，则附加文本将流动到一个或多个新行，从而增加标签的高度。

一个示例:

...
UILabel *status = [[UILabel alloc] init];
status.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByWordWrapping;
status.numberOfLines = 5; // limits to 5 lines; use 0 for unlimited.

[self addSubview:status]; // self here is the parent view

status.preferredMaxLayoutWidth = self.frame.size.width; // assumes the parent view has its frame already set.

status.text = @"Some quite lengthy message may go here…";
[status sizeToFit];
[status setNeedsDisplay];
...

要在Swift3中做到这一点，以下是代码:

 let labelSizeWithFixedWith = CGSize(width: 300, height: CGFloat.greatestFiniteMagnitude)
            let exactLabelsize = self.label.sizeThatFits(labelSizeWithFixedWith)
            self.label.frame = CGRect(origin: CGPoint(x: 20, y: 20), size: exactLabelsize)
