Hi,

Oh, that's a small bug, easy to fix.

I don't understand, it looks left to right to me. Or do you mean that
small bar in the bottom ? It has margin_bottom set so that it sticks
to the border.

The default unit is character, which have different width and height
value, you can use the pixel format as:

border_width = "5/1"
border_height = "5/1"

Then width/height would be 5 pixel in graphic mode.

I think image is most flexible, who want ascii border in graphic mode
? BTW, border in graphic mode doesn't necessary be full character
size, so text may not draw properly anyway. About the single/double
border, it's more suitable to config them using styles other that
property.

I don't understand, can you be more specific ?
