Time appears too low - lower than the default system date and time - in OS X 10.10.5 at least. #6

The difference in positioning is quite obvious on-screen - less so in this much-cropped screenshot.

I've underlined the default system date and time text to demonstrate that it cuts through the time shown by UTCMenuClock.

I cracked open the code but have never written anything for OS X. I didn't find an easy fix - e.g. no interface builder where I could just drag the element upwards a bit.

Thanks.

Sorry to take so long to respond here, I just saw your message.

I too am on 10.10.5 and do not see this issue happening.

Are you using a different system font? Maybe the problem is that I am not detecting that. Moving the menu in interface builder won't help because the system is responsible for managing the menu bar, afaik.

No worries.

Strange.

Are you using a different system font?

No. Everything is pretty stock, including the fonts.

I noticed the same thing after installing. El Capitan, 10.11.6. Stock fonts. It's just one pixel off, but still manages to be noticeable.

I haven't tried tinkering with the code yet to see if I can figure anything out.

Hmm, this problem still exists on 10.10.5 and 10.11. I am going to see if there's a use system font call or something that can be done here.

In El Capitan, 10.11.6, this appears to be fixed. Maybe it was an Apple issue with 3rd party menu items, but I can't repro anymore.
