UITextIcon becomes a fixed-width string with more characters

[dirkhillbrecht]

Currently, UITextIcon is designed to carry only one character. There is no real need for this limitation. It it were more like a "UIFixedWidthText" (or so) and carried multiple characters, it could be used to concat text line of smaller parts. This in turn helps sending only updates for the changed parts of the "whole" String to the display.
