WinDrawTruncChars calls WinDrawChar to draw the ellipsis in the case
of truncation. WinDrawChar calls TxtSetNextChar to set up the text
buffer for drawing, but on 3.1 Latin ROMs the call to TxtSetNextChar
was accidentally turned into a no-op via a macro (though only in the
source for Window Mgr routines). So the real bug is that WinDrawChar
is busted on 3.1 Latin ROMs.
