Research direction
Start with the :Tree entry point and reproduce the output from ~/.vim in both Vim and Neovim, then compare it with running from another folder. Use the reported macOS, ARM64, terminal, and version details while checking that box-drawing characters render correctly; done means the clean tree output is restored in ~/.vim.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
This does not happen so far in any other folder... If I run :Tree from ~/.vim folder, then instead of clean box drawing lines, I see the following weird character sequence. This happens even if vim-tree is the only plugin I load, and happens with both vim and neovim.
