key-sequence: Simulting a space clears the content of non-input elements in IE (>= 11?)

[j-ulrich]

This issue is similar to #6: Sometimes, when simulating a key sequence with delay in a non-input element in IE (>= 11?), spaces in the sequence delete the contents of the element.

For example: After calling

$('#myDiv').simulate('key-sequence', {sequence: 'my little text', delay: 100});

#myDiv contains text, but it can be seen that the rest of the sequence is simulated as well, but each space removes the current content of the div. This even happens with the \xA0 character.

I haven't found out in which situations this problem occurrs but it doesn't seem to be related to the visibility of the element. Chances are good that the problem come from bililiteRange.js in combination with IEs implementation of the Range API.

The fix from #6 doesn't solve this problem.

Further investigated this: this also happens without delay.
