there is a spurious bit on the next line:

   ... is the aim of ag-ecology mgmt. "Absolute yield" is
   here_we_insert_a_super_long_word_to_mimic_Japanese[1][(1)__world record yiel

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

using a terminal window with Xfce on Linux, i can get a very wide display.
Galeon breaks your line after 'Japanese', as do Dillo & Opera:
