  I cannot stress enough how important it is that you and, to be fair, quite a few others, post code that runs. By leaving parts out, even that which appears trivial, you change the parameters and thus the helper is much less likely to be able to recreate your issue. Also, without it, your problem is consumes a lot more of the helper's time (to get the script running), that could be spent helping others.

  In short, if you would like quick and reliable answers, you will provide all of the information in the original post.

  With this in mind, you have only provided part of your code. Where is the window creation, and class_label?

  What is your platform and SDK version?

  Your code (with some unavoidable alterations to make it run) works fine on android 1.4.X (12 Nov):

  var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
      title:'Window 1',
      backgroundColor:'#0f0'
  });
  
  var scrollView=Titanium.UI.createScrollView({
      contentHeight:'auto',
      contentWidth:'auto',
      backgroundColor:'#CECFCE'
  });
  win.add(scrollView);
  
  var label1=Titanium.UI.createLabel();
  label1.color = '#000';
  label1.top=80;
  label1.left=10;
  label1.right=10;
  label1.text='To sign-up, simply fill in your details below and lots more text in this sentence besides:';
  scrollView.add(label1);
  
  win.open();
  

  See screenshot

  Which leads me to suspect one of the following causes:

  1. there is something in your code that you are not telling us
  2. if you are developing for the iphone, there is a disparity in behaviour between android and iphone, meaning that more testing is required in order for us to raise it with the devs.
  3. you are using a different SDK to me
  4. something else ;)

  It honestly is too difficult to say, with the information you have provided.

• label1.height='auto';

  Note that you have a syntax error in your code. titleBar.width should not have a trailing comma. This won't make a difference to your problem in this case, of course, but in others it might.

  I'd recommend an IDE with a js validator, such as eclipse, as it can speed up your dev process.

  • Where is createWindow()?
  • Why do you have scrollView defined twice?
  • Where do you open the window?

  The best approach is to have a clean project that you use solely to check your scripts work before posting them here. Simply replace the app.js contents.

• I tried MANY of the recommended approaches to wrapping dynamic text automatically in a non-editable textView, but none work. It seems to me that a native "wrapText" should exist. I tried TextWrap, horizontal layouts, and more, but unless I am tired and grumpy, a simple resolution does not exist. I am shocked that I need to write a more involved solution to a fundamental function.
