Bug Description

When I correct the spelling by pasting characters from the Windows Character Map utility, the spellcheck breaks in the following way:

* The corrected word still shows the wavy underline;
* If I right-click on it, I get the tiny menu with only "Paste" and "Split here" options;
* If I open the context menu by the corresponding keyboard key, it is similarly empty, but the caret MOVES TO THE PREVIOUS word;

I can work it around by closing the Editor tab and reopening it, but it is very inconvenient.

It is the book editor.

I tried the Special Character tool, it behaves the same as pasting.

I found a particular inserted sequence that causes the breakage: U+05BC and [U+05B0-U+05BB].

I cannot replicate this I tried inserting the dagesh into some text in
the editor and after doing so the word was marked as misspelled
correctly and right clicking on it showed the normal menu with spelling
corrections.

You need to put both the dagesh and some vowel from the list.

Also, the shin and sin dots work as well as the dagesh.
