See screenshot, see space above close button to window edge. 
I measure 8 extra px vs. native OS X apps.

This is intentional because it centers the window buttons vertically in the titlebar. It was implemented in bug 851652.

IMHO, here is the litany of problems this creates:
- the upper-right expand window button is also placed in a non-standard position.
- makes the app's look and feel non-native, and native look and feel is arguably a big deal in Apple-land
- creates wasted space (for those of us who like minimal window chrome)
- it misaligns the buttons vertically from the window title (see screenshot).

The person you'll need to talk to is Stephen Horlander, not me.
