With a space, yes, that is definitely an edge case. However, there is a UX
problem here, especially if you pair it with the problem that you can only edit
text in a text box by either double-clicking on the frame or on the text itself
(bug #116342). Not only does this problem ignore Fitts' Law, but it also does
not match behavior in PowerPoint or Publisher.

Please understand that both bugs are not major ones, but Draw suffers from
death by a thousand papercuts.
