the extra character cannot be selected either -- I think this problem existed 
before and I think it was Joe who resolved it.

I haven't investigated yet, but from the description it is almost certanily a 
layout prob.  Unselectable content mysteriously appearing is usually layout.

This really is an odd problem, note that the extra character changes if you 
click at the beginning of where the font changed and type another letter.

Side note: this happened prior to akk's phase 1 editor reorg and mjudge's 
editor xpidl changes.

wow is that weird -- also at step 7 -- use your left/right arrow key and watch 
what happens!
