Hello!

This is probably a very silly question but anyways…

When selecting the search bar in the StoryBoard, the height shown is 51 points (this is also the value used when setting the tableView contentInset

```auto
tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: 51, left: 0, bottom: 0, right: 0)

```

But when getting the height using searchBar.bounds.height, the result is 56 instead:

```auto
print("Search bar height: \(searchBar.bounds.height)")
// => Search bar height: 56

```

Where are those extra 5 points coming from?

Thanks!
