Time widget spacing illustration by Reddit user /u/FypeWaqer
SUMMARY
In one line mode when date is shown, the spacing between the date and time
looks off when using a monospace font, especially if there is a space in the
date format.
Because the widget is visually just text, the expectation is that the spacing
would be the same as a space.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add a new horizontal date widget
2. Check "show date" and always put it beside time
3. Set date format to something with a space, like "dd MMM" (14 June)
4. Observe the gap between date and time is slightly different from the size of
the space character
5. Use a monospace font
6. Observe how the difference is even more pronounced
OBSERVED RESULT
Gap between date and time is different from the width of a space character
EXPECTED RESULT
Gap between date and time is the same as a space character
