Dear Ulrike,
I can avoid the problem by redefining this two commands of a current pgfsys-dvipdfmx.def:
Thanks. I find it is also ok with \documentclass[]{article} \usepackage{lipsum} \usepackage{tcolorbox} % \tcbuselibrary{breakable} \makeatletter \def\pgfsys@dvipdfmx@suspendcontent{% \special{pdf: bcontent}% \special{pdf:code q -1 0 0 -1 0 0 cm q}% \special{pdf: econtent}% \special{pdf: bcontent}% \special{pdf:code -1 0 0 -1 0 0 cm}% \special{pdf:code q}% translate to original system } \def\pgfsys@dvipdfmx@unsuspendcontent{% \special{pdf:code Q Q Q}% \special{pdf: econtent}% } \makeatother % \begin{document} % \rule{0.4pt}{17cm} % \begin{tcolorbox}[breakable] \lipsum[1] \end{tcolorbox}% \lipsum \end{document} though I don't understand them.
