Just noticed this last night and thought my eyes were going bad. The weird thing is that scrolling through the Tweets fixes the error. It must be some font rendering bug for this specific font in Adobe Air. I’m running TweetDeck on Leopard. It seems to only happen with the capital ‘S’.
Here are the pictures if you would like to join me in wasting time on nearly unnoticeable bugs. Look for the capital S in Apple Store:
Look at the same Tweet - scrolling to a different location has fixed the error (second from top)

Only you would notice that
I noticed it too. Anyone who works with graphics and typography would.
And it’s pretty annoying to those of us who see it!
Right there with you, I noticed this very early on and no one else seems to care. It’s incredibly obvious and very irritating. I don’t know how a UI bug that big gets through undetected.
Yes, anyone who cares about typography would spot this at once. I have that too, only for me it happens on Windows XP and Windows 7, so it looks like it’s an Air problem rather than a Mac problem.
(Oh, I have Macs at home, I just have to use Windows at work!)
Happening for me as well on Windows7
