iOS UIButton text not getting truncated

Question

I am making an app that generates a UITableView from data. I have a custom UITableViewCell that contains a UIButton with text. The title of one of the generated buttons is too long for the UIButton, but isn't getting truncated as I have selected in the UIStoryBoard. The cells are getting created in my UITableViewController function - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath as normal for prototype cells.

I can't add images because I'm a new user, but here are a couple links to images:

UIStoryBoard Settings: truncate setting

The title bleeding outside the boundaries of the UIButton: overflowing text

Does anyone know how to fix this. It was working earlier. I changed the size of the UIButton and the font of the title text, but I don't think that should make a difference.

Here's the code where I'm setting button's text inside - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

    CellIdentifier = @"PopoverCell";
    cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
    ((MSPopoverCell *)cell).nameLabel.text = data.FullName; //setting the label, works fine
    [((MSPopoverCell *)cell).button setTitle:data.DisplayString forState:UIControlStateNormal];//setting the button title, bleeds over

Also, I'm new to stackoverflow, so if I have missed anything that I should include, please give me some friendly advice. Thanks, Max

I also tried setting the UIButton's LineBreakMode to NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail programmatically with no luck. — Max Strater, Dec 22 '12 at 00:16
Weird. Setting the text alignment to left fixes the bleeding over, but that's not what I want... — Max Strater, Dec 22 '12 at 00:34
can you edit your question to show the code of how you're setting the title of that cell's button text? — Michael Dautermann, Dec 22 '12 at 00:39
