I will have to try composing a message when the condition happens again. As well as copy/paste to a different window outside of TB. In my case, since it only affects the Chinese characters I wonder if it is some sort of memory corruption. A long time ago, I did see something along the lines of what you describe. It ended up being a video driver issue.
