Description

unexpected untyped characters

Upon loading page in VE:

Click CTRL-B and type some characters;
click CTRL-I and type some characters;

often but not always reproducible, seen in Chrome/OSX, also reported in IE and FF: upon typing after ctrl-B or ctrl-I for "bold" or "italic", characters appear that have not been entered. see screen shot

possibly related, seen but not reproducible: some combination of actions will cause VE to type a string into a page over and over and over without any action on the part of the user. I'll file a new bug if I can figure out how to repron that behavior.

@James: Feel free to assign to me.

I believe we fixed this with the new insertion logic last week. Please re-open if you can reproduce still.
