there is a spurious bit on the next line:

here_we_insert_a_super_long_word_to_mimic_Japanese[1][(1)__world record yiel
d yield................................], you might say.

i get a message: "Alert!: Shifting is disabled while line-wrap is in effect".

Galeon breaks your line after 'Japanese', as do Dillo & Opera:
