cdebconf-newt: Scrollbar no longer covers top and bottom lines in selection lists



Package: newt
Version: 0.52.2-3
Severity: important
Tags: d-i

In Debian Installer the top and bottom lines in selection lists are no 
longer "covered" by the scrollbar: compare [1] and [2].

I am guessing this issue is the result of release 0.52.2-1 which has a 
changelog entry "more pleasing scrollbars".

This may be because different characters are now being used that are not 
included in d-i's "needed character" list. If so, please let us know the 
unicode identification of these characters and reassign this BR to 
debian-installer so we may add them.

On the other hand, looking at [3], it may also be that the top and bottom 
character are actually just indistinguishable from the blue background 
d-i uses and in that case the "more pleasing scrollbars" is a bug and 
should be reverted (or implemented in a different way).

I've set severity important as I think this issue affects useability.

Cheers,
Frans Pop
