Hello Nicholas.

First of all - thanks for feedback. That change I made shouldn't be a reason of this behavior. Let's try to find what may be wrong.

Have you tried to run it in terminal without screen multiplexors? I had an issue with screen on my system, don't remember if I tried tmux with golded.

Golded doesn't work well with multibyte encodings like UTF-8. Last screenshot looks like text recoding issue to me.
Is there anything in golded.log?

Have you tried to use one byte local charset? Like cp437.

Could you share your config and message base with sample message, which displays incorrectly?

What OS do you have? Do you build golded yourself? Do you use cmake or make?
