This is the problem TB has with Chinese. There are no spaces between
characters in Chinese writing, so TB doesn't insert a line break after
72 of them. But it should. TB considers a whole paragraph as one word,
so doesn't insert a line break. This is why I have heard Taiwanese
people saying TB is unusable. :-(
