SUMMARY

After updating KDE frameworks to the version 6.4.0 I've encountered several issues with desktop icons

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a shotcut on the desktop with a name that doesn't fit in one line
2. Try to open it after hovering cursor over it and then moving the cursor away
3. Try to drag the icon across the screen

OBSERVED RESULT
1. The name doesn't fit in the highlighted frame
2. The shortcut doesn't open with repeated clicks
3. Sometimes the icon lags and snaps back to its previous place
4. Sometimes letters collide with each other and are a wrong size

EXPECTED RESULT
1. The name should fit in the highlighted frame
2. If the cursor is over the shortcut, it must open after a double click regardless  
3. The icon should remain in place
4. Letters should adhere to the specified font

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.4.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Resolution: 2560x1600 (16:10)
Scale: 120%
Refresh rate: 120 Hz
Font: Noto Sans 13pt

Can confirm, it's this bit:

> Font: Noto Sans 13pt

The height is gridUnit-based, not based on the actual height of the font. And we made gridUnit no longer auto-adjust with the font height.
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2024-11-14 15:33:53 UTC 
So, fundamentally we have two options:
1. Stop basing the height on GridUnit here in this code, and explicitly use the metrics of the actual text.
2. Revert the change to make GridUnit static (see Bug 493687)
