I wrote an email and used a smiley (cool) in my text. I saw, that I had no
<space> after the smile, so I repositioned my curser with the mouse between
smiley and the first letter after it and hit the [SPACE BAR], but nothing
happened. So I hit it a few more times and nothing happened again.
So I hit [BACK SPACE] several time until the smiley was deleted. So I added the
smiley again and hit the [SPACE BAR], but the text did not movie. After
repeating these steps several time, the smiley could not be deleted anymore and
when I hit the [BACK SPACE] key the characters to the left of the smiley were
deleted. After all characters to the left of the smiley were deleted I could
positino the curser before the smiley and delete it with the [DEL] key.

PS: I always used the menu with the smiley to add.

Reproducible: Always
