Description
Description
#set page(width: 100pt, height: 50pt)
#scale(500%, origin: top + left, box(stroke: (top: 1pt, right: stroke(thickness: 1pt, dash: (0.4em, 0.5em))), [abc#h(0.1em)]))
The right side of the top line is mitered as if it would be joined with the right line, but the top side of the right line is just a butt, i.e., exactly the same as if there was no top stroke at all, so it looks weird.
This could be related to #6341, so it would probably be good to fix that first and see if this goes away too.

Research direction
Start by running the Typst snippet in the issue and compare the corner where the solid top stroke meets the dashed right stroke. Trace the stroke-rendering entry point responsible for joining these segments, then verify that the corner is joined consistently rather than treating the dashed side as absent.
