So, what SDK are you using when building your apps? I remember seeing
a whole new lot of issues the moment I started building my apps using
the 10.5 SDK. Is it possible that an app being linked to the 10.4
libraries made the behavior of NSShadow on 10.5.{0,1} consistent with
that of 10.4.x?
Either that, or I'm going crazy. :) Because before 10.5.2, if I didn't
offset the shadows by an additional 1pt when running on Leopard, then
I would end up with very faint traces of a shadow, while on Tiger they
were being displayed beautifully.

I had the impression that there was an NSShadow bug only on 10.5.0
thru 10.5.1. My shadows looked great on 10.4.x, and I had to add a
check to draw them with an extra 1pt offset on leopard to account
for that bug. This made them look exactly the same both on tiger
and on leopard.
Well, for what it's worth, Safari (and by extension WebKit) has had
this bug since 10.4.x. I haven't changed anything on my web site's
text shadows in ages, and I am still running 10.4.11 on one Mac
that still shows them with the bug. It still looked fine up to
10.5.1 (which I have on another Mac), but in 10.5.2 it was fixed,
so all shadows designed for the old behaviour were suddenly off by
one pixel down and right.
So, I am actually able to see the matching 10.5.1 and 10.4
behaviour side-by-side. Not sure about NSShadow.
This is the behavior I am seeing as well. The shadows only look bad
on 10.5.2 (which now actually draws them at the offset you pass in.)
I'd still like to derive the function
f(actual offset) = 10.5.1/10.4.x offset
so that I don't have to hand tweak every shadow offset in my app so
that they look the same on both OS releases.
