[Bug 1516700] [NEW] When entering message into messaging apps, last word keeps turning into gibberish

 

Public bug reported:

Whenever I type a space after the last word (such as would happen lots
of time when entering an SMS message normally), the last word entered
turns into gibberish.

Workaround: entering a lower case letter, and then moving back, so that
the text entered is not end of line turns off this misfeature, but is
cumbersome due to lack of cursor key, and proximity of camera icon near
beginning of text field.

What I expect to happen: I should be able to enter text normally,
without last word being transformed into gibberish.

What happens instead: Entering a space after last word garbles the word.
WTF?
