I would really appreciate some help on debugging a problem on displaying certain windows names.

Some window name are incomplete on dwm status (screenshot attached). The name is "cut" after the first special character (for example: if a window name is "André Desgualdo Pereira" it will show only "Andr").

It doesn't happen with every program, but it happens with OpenOffice and Libreoffice.

Also xprop show the window name correctly, but wmctrl shows "N/A".

Also it didn't happen with Debian 11. It is happening with Debian 12.

I already recompiled dwm and reconfigured libc6 libglib2.0-0:amd64 libxmu6:amd64 libx11-6:amd64

Any help on wherelse to check would be really appreciated.
