Using spell check suggestion deletes some punctuation marks

Bug graveyard

Steps to reproduce

Have a misspelled word next to punctuation. Select one of the spell checker’s suggestion to correct the spelling error.

EXAMPLE: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dgo.

In this example, right click on “dgo” and select “dog”.

Expected result

The expected result is: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.

Actual result

The period at the end of the sentence gets deleted. I tested this with other punctuation marks (comma, semicolon, question mark, hyphen, and parenthesis) and it does the same thing.

The bug does not occur with colons, exclamation marks, square brackets, or quotation marks.

Environment

  • Operating system: Windows 10 Version 2004
