Title:
  When entering message into messaging apps, last word keeps turning
  into gibberish

Status in messaging-app package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  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?
