Not only does it blow by the character limit, it goes right off the end of my screen. These problems are fixable. I'm not advocating a complete overhaul, but how many times have you mistapped / misclicked on a vote button and not been able to reverse it? How come there is still no way to collapse threads? Very basic things.
I'm not sure what's causing it, but while looking through the HTML I noticed each comment line gets different markup. The first line gets a font tag and the subsequent lines get a p tag. Very strange.

It's caused by the non-breaking spaces (Unicode character U+00A0) in this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7685599
A CSS workaround to read this page:
Thanks, I manually fixed that comment.

It doesn't do it on mine http://i.imgur.com/N87UGE5.png - mac with Chrome or Safari. Some sort of browser issue maybe?
It's been fixed.
