    $ sudo apt install mc
    
  3. Run Midnight Commander.
    $ TERM=xterm-256color mc -d -S modarin256-defbg
    
  4. If the issue is not there, try to resize the Terminal window or make it full screen. Press CTRL-O several times.

Expected behavior

All box drawing characters rendered correctly.

Actual behavior

Various characters rendering issues (see the red marks on the picture):
