Description:
First, thanks for the great project! I’m using xbar v2.1.7-beta on macOS 15.3 to create a network monitoring extension, but I’ve noticed a vertical alignment issue when displaying multiline text. The text appears misaligned, making the menu look inconsistent and harder to read.
Here’s an example of my extension’s output:
297 KB/s ▼ ▮▯▯▯\n 36 KB/s ▲ ▮▯▯▯ | size=8
---
en0:\t↓297.42KB/s\n\t↑36.28KB/s | color='#3487c7' font='Menlo' size=8Screenshot:

[🔗 xbar-advanced-network-monitor](https://github.com/kasra73/xbar-advanced-network-monitor)
Steps to Reproduce:
- Install xbar v2.1.7-beta on macOS 15.3.
- Add a network monitoring extension that outputs multiline text with ANSI escape codes and special characters.
- Observe that the vertical alignment of the text is inconsistent.
Expected Behavior:
- Multiline text should be properly aligned, ensuring readability and consistency.
- ANSI escape codes for colors and special characters should not affect text placement.
Actual Behavior:
- The text appears misaligned, making it difficult to read, especially when using font size settings.
Environment:
- macOS Version: 15.3
- xbar Version: v2.1.7-beta
- Extension Type: Network monitoring extension
Let me know if you need any more details. Thanks again for your work on xbar! 🚀
