THAC0 box in the Inventory screen has incorrect info for characters with 18/XX Strength

So maybe Im reading the info on the sidebar within the inventory wrong, although I think I have it right. The problem is that I dont think it is showing the proper to hit penalty for a fighter class using a weapon they aren't proficient with. It does display with both Wizard and Thief correctly, just not the fighter. The strength bonus is also not displaying, my fight with 18/96 strength says Base Thac0: 20, Longsword to hit:-3 and strength:0, should it not be displaying a bonus to hit for high strength? It is displaying correctly in the ability chart within the character page however.
Also I feel the way is set up could be VERY confusing for players unfamiliar with D&D rules. If I was a new player and I saw Dagger to hit:3 I would think that was good and if I saw Longsword to hit:-3 I would think I was receiving a penalty and would be confused as to why.

    Looks like its not detecting 18/XX Strengths properly.

    EDIT: Both 17 and 19 is working.

    I experienced the same. Played the tutorial and the strength bonus for my Paladin (18/79) was shown as "0", although it should have been "2".

    Current behavior:
    (Cleric 1 / Thief 1) (Str: 19)
    Base thac0: listed as 20
    Thac0: listed as 17
    Thac0 (in "attack box") listed as 14 (+3 strength / +3 warhammer)
    *Ability bonuses*
    To hit: listed as +6 (should be +3 from str, no?)
    Damage: Listed as +7

    Expected behavior:
    Base thac0: 20
    Thac0: 17
    Thac0 (in "attack box") : 17 (+3 strength)
    *Ability bonuses*
    To Hit: +3
    Damage: +7

    Or is it just me who is tripping?
