If you’re considering cleaning up things of this nature, then I’d add that outlets currently only extend two pixels into objects, messages, etc., whereas inlets extend 3 (and are therefore much easier to see).  This is the case on macOS, at least.

If this was by design, then please ignore : )

Cheers,

So it would be fine to use the same vert sizing as object boxes? I have that now in some testing and it looks good, especially for symbols. Maybe I'm too picky with the details :)

I think there's only a very stupid, short-sighted reason: since numbers
never have descenders, it wasn't necessary to add a pixel of whitespace
underneath the rendered string.  I was intent on reducing the size of
everything to its absolute minimum.

I was forgetting about (or maybe not anticipating) "symbol" boxes - it's
easy to make symbol box text collide with the box's outlet.  And "|"
characters can hit the bottom edge of the box even away from the outlet.

Is there a reason why atoms and slightly shorter in height than object boxes, at least on macOS?

I'm not asking for the technical reason, as I know in the code why this is, but more the conceptual reason, or is it a bug?
