Describe the question

Since Yazi 25.5.31 the selection highlight looks rounded, like pill-shaped corners. In xterm these glyphs are show up as two extra characters at the start and end of the selected line. I don't like rounded corners and couldn't find any option in the docs or default theme to disable them. How can I remove these rounded glyphs and make the selection plain again?

Anything else?
