Description

### Describe the bug

Reproducible from: https://community.software.sil.org/t/keyman-not-showing-spaces-in-thunderbird/10253

> I am using a new Dell Computer and the latest version of Thunderbird for email. Using the Keyman keyboard for my language (Areare), the space bar inserts spaces, but the cursor doesn’t move. Also, the cursor will jump back to the previously typed text if there are other spaces before the cursor that were typed with a standard keyboard

Typing space with keyman keyboard does not correctly align the cursor behind the space.

### Reproduce the bug

1. Get ThunderBird `v139.0.1`
2. Click on "+ New Message" in Mail
3. Start typing in the Body text with a Keyman keyboard
4. Result:

### Expected behavior

1. Insert space where it is typed
