C# label AutoSize adds padding

Question

I have a Label on a Windows.Form. I set the AutoSize property on the label to True and I noticed that when I do that, it pads the right hand side with ~5px of white background. I have the Padding property set to [0, 0, 0, 0]. Is there a way to get rid of this?

I would like to get the bounds of the label as close as possible to the text within the label.

There's no way when you use only padding and margin. That's the default behavior.

In the above Window I've set the Padding and Margin to [0,0,0,0]. Those 5 pixels are still there.

If you set FlatStyle = System and AutoSize = False you can get this:

In the above Window you don't have those 5 pixels anymore.
