Typing spaces on a word highlighted by spelling crashes Sigil #1406

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

I'm sure I haven't yet found every way to make 0.7.53 die, but I've sure as 
heck hit a frustrating number of them every few minutes. :(

I've got a doc which on each page has a number of words that need spaces 
inserted where they have run together. In code view it is showing those 
underlined with the spelling feature - that's the good news.

However if I start going through, clicking the mouse at the point I want to 
insert a space and tap the spacebar, I can manage about 3-4 words before Sigil 
just crashes.

As per usual, Win 7 64-bit, 0.7.53

I'll add one thing that I subsequently noticed (just in case you think I am an 
idiot for it!) - it isn't that the doc needed spaces at thos epoints, it is 
that all the encodings were screwed up in the original document and the calibre 
conversion removed (or certainly not visible in Sigil) the emdashes which were 
supposed to be at those places. I've since fixed the source and bypassed this 
issue for this document.

Regardless, it doesn't make a difference what character I try to insert into 
each of those words, be it space or emdash, Sigil crashes, sometimes on the 
first word I try to change. It does have me wondering whether it is a hidden 
encoded character at that position which is causing this though.

I just did a tweak epub to look at the html and sure enough it does have the 
badly encoded character at each of those points in the html. So that must be 
what is tripping it up.

Here is a simpler attachment
