Here are the blocks you need to do this @tobi

I’d be interested to know what things you tried already?

The only issue I ran into was the the Label has a default width of `Fit Contents` so I used a block to manually set this to a numeric value (i.e. `48 px` is this case)

Also, the delay of 0.01 was needed at the very beginning to allow time for the `computed width` property to be calcualted.
