GridPane cuts off Label when using COMPUTED_SIZE

I have a GridPane displaying descriptive Labels on the left side and content Labels on the right side. I set everything to USE_COMPUTED_SIZE in SceneBuilder and added padding to my elements so they don't stick together too closely. This works well if it wasn't for the fact, that the left-side Labels are cut off, if the content is big enough to take up the whole width of the scene:

Recipe Info SceneBuilder

Is there a way of making sure that my left-side labels are displayed in full, before the right side labels get their share of available width? Setting the minimum width of the first column to a concrete value works, but i would like JavaFX to determine the needed size for the first column.

Use Texts (can be found in Shapes) instead of Labels in the first column. In contrast to Labels Texts are not resizeable and GridPane cannot resize the first column to become smaller than the largest of the Text nodes in this column.
