Missing borders on Linux x86

Author: jiripospisilCreated Aug 27, 2026Updated Aug 27, 2026

Describe the bug

Hello, rendering of a few of the official examples seems broken on Linux x86 (32bit). The tabs example:

x86
x86-64

Setup

I can reproduce this on Void (glibc) and Alpine Linux (musl). If you're running on a x86-64 machine, you can reproduce this easily with just a 32bit user space in a container.

Containerfile

I'm running Ghostty 1.3.1 and Tmux 3.7b but it's reproducible in other terminals as well without Tmux.
