Notes

• A carriage return "\r" does this, however, it has occurred when the misspelled word ends right before an HTML tag.
• If RichTextEditor's htmlText is set via MXML, it display the text with the escape character and does not cause an issue.
• Also happens with a <mx:TextInput> if the TextInput looses focus.
