TinyMCE + Firefox IME (Phonetic Input) Cursor Not Moving After Space

Firefox Web compatibility

I’m using TinyMCE as a rich text editor in my web application. When typing with phonetic/IME input (like Hindi, Kannada, etc.) in Mozilla Firefox, I encounter an issue:

After completing a word using the IME and pressing space, a space is added after the word but the cursor (caret) does not move visually beyond the space.(confirmed via HTML inspection).

This issue does not occur in Chrome—there the cursor moves correctly after space.

I am using firefox 139.0.1

Noticed similar behavior when using phonetic input for Tamil in Firefox. The caret stays stuck after pressing space, even though the space character is inserted correctly in the DOM.
