The problem: SpeedScript counts characters in an escape sequence in determining line length. Since these characters don't print (at least the ones I have used, e.g., superscript/normal mode) the result is that output lines are shorter than expected. I looked through the code and determined that it does in fact count these characters in computing line length. The fix: The following patch has the effect of not counting the user defined control codes in the output line size (as is done for predefined control codes such as left margin). If some user codes should be counted as printing chartacters, the easiest way to do this would be to partition the codes into two ranges, one that is counted and one that is not.
