Thanks for the detailed before and after images. They more clearly show the 
issues with the appearance of the bar.

The after does look better but there is a little more overhang on the left 
side than on the right. I may be picking nits but what bothers me is the 
inconsistent behaviour of the before. The bar starts at the left edge of the 
letter H but starts after the left edge of the V.

I would have expected the bar start position would be based on the left edge 
of the letter below it and extend to the right edge of the last letter. I am 
wondering if the patch covers up a more fundamental problem.
