What happened?

when using the interaction labels any item in a different language than the currently set one will have its hitbox made smaller than normal.

as can be seen in the preview i am a native English speaker but when i added Chinese to the game it caused this item to be more difficult to easily pick up.

after i saw this i changed it to somthing random in English and that fixed the hitbox so its something under the hood that's freaking out. as far as i am aware this bug does not affect the game in any other way.

Reproduction steps

perhaps the easiest bug to reproduce.

simply have the game in your native language and with a custom item, change its title to something foreign and as soon as you load into the game, drop the item and hold whatever button is bound to "show interaction labels".

the hitbox is practically halved and to best demonstrate this, you can go into the submarine editor and use any other item in your native language as a comparison hitbox, you can even see the difference in the "what happend" section because i assure you its not just a visual bug.
