            Bug ID: 334571
           Summary: Replacing selected text with a space just cancels the
                    selection
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.13.0
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: composer
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: richard-oss at esplins.org

I upgraded my Fedora 20 install to use tho KDE 4.13.0 packages from the Fedora
development repository in order to replace nepomuk with baloo.

I have the habit of typing, deciding that I want to get rid of what I typed,
selecting the text including the surrounding spaces, pressing space, and typing
my replacement text. Since upgrading KMail, pressing space merely cancels the
selection leaving the cursor at the start of what was the selection. Then my
typing goes in prior to the text I was trying to replace.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compose a new email
2. Select some text
3. Press the space bar
Actual Results:  
The selection is cancelled, and the cursor sits prior to the previously
selected region.

Expected Results:  
The selection should be replaced with a space.

This does not happen in any other application. I have tested Firefox,
LibreOffice, Konversation, KWrite, Choqok, and Telepathy.

This does not happen with any other character. Pressing "a" will replace the
selection with the letter "a".

Environment: Fedora 20 pulling KDE 4.13.0 from apt.kde-redhat.org
