Description (last modified by Jiri Svoboda)

If I run a UI application in text mode (e.g. calculator -d cons@), the horizontal box characters are broken. This happens both in Terminal and in the console

After 2 days of bisecting I found this was introduced by this changeset

    Improve performance of some str functions
    
    Some string functions are unnecessarily expensive.
    Attempt to make them better by using bytewise operations instead
    of transcoding to/from char32_t when possible.
