Screenshot of different icon margins

I guess am one of the rare creatures, that still works with Icon View (Size 48px) in KDE. Today I noticed, that in the plasma file selector, the margins of icons are not aligned with Dolphin and the Desktop. In the plasma file selector the margins are very narrow, so that text becomes tangled and unreadable (in my screenshot I am selecting a file with LibreOffice Writer, it is e.g. the same using the file selection dialogue to save files in Firefox).

I would like to recommend the same margin for the file dialogue, as in KDE Dolphin and the Plasma Desktop.

Thank you for the bug report!

However Plasma 6.3.6 no longer receives updates or maintenance from KDE; active versions are 6.4 or newer. Please upgrade to an active version as soon as your distribution makes it available to you. Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one.

If you need help with Plasma 6.3.6, please contact your distribution, who bears the responsibility of providing help for older releases that are no longer receiving updates from KDE.

If you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to an active version, feel free to re-open this bug report.

So, I have to install KDE Neon to check, wether the bug might still be around? Or otherwise, when my distro updates to a newer version, I should reopen the bug (which is pointless, because by then, it will already be obsolete)? 

This is not feasible for me. Maybe someone with KDE latest could have a glimpse at the problem. I am pretty sure, that this is not resolved by itself. :)
