WPF Labels look fine in XP, but are cut off at the bottom in Vista and Windows 7.

Question

The following xaml looks fine in XP, but the bottom of the text gets cut off in Vista and Windows 7.

<Grid>
    <Border Height="86"
            Margin="10,54,10,0"
            VerticalAlignment="Top"
            BorderBrush="Black"
            BorderThickness="1"/>
    <Label Height="22" 
           Width="100"
           Margin="15,43,0,0" 
           VerticalAlignment="Top" 
           HorizontalAlignment="Left"
           Background="White">Text Over Border</Label>
</Grid>

I realize that I could just increase the Height of the label, but I'm guessing I'll have problems with systems that have different resolution settings, or large text settings. Is there a better way to lay this out?

As requested by juharr, I'll add my comment as an answer, with a short elaboration:

Why not just auto-size the label vertically?

In WPF, there's rarely a need for pixel values, especially since they're just device-independent pixels anyway. For anything text (including buttons), auto-sizing is almost always the right thing to do, especially considering future localization (which many people forget). Auto-size always vertically, and horizontally if the label is not intended to be word-wrapped. Use a minimum width for best visual results (for buttons a maximum width may be a good thing as well)
