Aren't they supposed to look like cartoon conversation balloons?   I 
*hate* the way the look now.  Looks like some extended ASCII art 
character or something else.  Maybe I'm just used to what it used to be. 
  If this is the correct behaviour it looks like it is broken.  Now that 
I think about it, it *does* look like the lines to the right connecting 
the threads.  Yuck.  Just my $0.02
