Analog clock has a square around it, since when?

When Mac OS X Beta came out, it had the app Clock, which was an analog clock you could start up, having settings like transparency and digital vs analog.
When you moved it, it became square, but as soon as you let it go, it was just a round clock. (like Konfabulator f.i.)
Now I never used it that much, as I think the digital one in the menu bar is enough info, but just out of curiosity I made the settings in the menu bar to analog.
It appears now (in MacOSX 10.3.8) as a clock with a square around it. Since when did that change? (Can't be the graphics card: NVIDIA 6800 Ultra DDL  on a PowerMac Dual 2 GHz).
Thanks.

You mean when you change the clock from "show digital clock" to "show analouge clock" ? It's round here as it always has been.

No, I mean this:
- Click on the time in your menu bar
- Open Date & Time
- View in: Menu Bar or Window: choose Window
- At my Mac it becomes a window, but square
As I said, in the past, it use to be a application on itself.

Looks like they added a drop shadow to the square area around the clock. The square border IS transparent ... but is leaving a square shadow. Weird.
Wait a sec. Its a bug. If you change the clock from menu to window as digital, the digital clock shows up in a square. Change to analog, an the square border remains. However, if you go to date and time, change to analog FIRST (while its still in the menu) and then change it to window from menu, its round. Two different behaviors based on which order you make the changes

Indeed, it's a bug! Thanks though! Will report to Apple.
To Apple:
System Preferences -> Time & Date
Select Clock
Select Show the date and time
Select View in: Window
Select View as: Digital
Now switch from Digital to Analog
The normally round clock will have a square around it, while this doesn't happen when you first select Analog in Menu bar and then switch to Window.

Ahh now I see. Looks like a bug to me. It wasn't like that before.
