Wood doesn't burn when nearby lava.

When placing a wood block nearby lava, the expected result is the wood burning, but apparently not. Wood only burns when it is inside the lava rather than burning when its so close to it.

How to reproduce

Start by obtaining some wood and a lava bucket
Then place a wood block next to the lava, its not gonna burn.

Observations: Wood doesn't burn nearby lava
Expectations: It should burn as long as it interacts with lava.
