Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:

 1. Use the Gmail user agent override specified here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webbrowser-app/+bug/1375889

 2. Ensure 'Auto punctuation' is enabled in system settings

 3. Compose a message

 4. Double tap space

Expected result:

 A full stop should be inserted

Actual result:

 Two spaces are inserted

This is because this version of Gmail replaces all spaces we insert with non-breaking space characters ( ), so the keyboard needs to be able to handle any sort of space character, not just those we insert ourselves.
