when mouse approaches vertically through multi-line
label

Screencast of the bug
Steps to reproduce:
Log into Plasma 6.3.4 Wayland session.
Place a desktop icon with a long filename that wraps to 2 or more lines.
Move the mouse vertically from below, passing over the text label first before
the icon itself.
Observe that:
The icon does not highlight.
The icon cannot be clicked until you move horizontally or away and back.
Reduce the label to 1 line → bug disappears.
Expected result:
Icons should highlight and respond to clicks regardless of approach direction,
like in X11.
Actual result:
On Wayland, multi-line text labels create a “dead zone” where vertical hover
does not trigger icon highlight or clicks.
Horizontal approach works normally.
Workarounds:
Use single-line labels.
