Invalid BB code tags have zerowidth spaces after opening bracket upon saving

Hi,

So I recently discovered that when you edit the BB code for text and you use invalid tags (missing closing tag, invalid syntax in tag, etc.) and save it with the invalid BB code, it automatically adds a zerowidth space right after the opening bracket of all invalid tags, making it strangely difficult to get the BB code to work even after correcting the invalid BB code and saving it, as it still shows the tags and no formatting happens, due to the zerowidth space causing failure to recognize that it's a tag. I see no reason that a zerowidth space should ever be added to BB code so I have no idea how this bug came to be, other than perhaps some kind of issue with what char code and its location should be added to the code; I have no clue. I only was able to figure this out by moving my cursor left in the tag and noticing that it doesn't go to the left of the opening bracket after pressing left twice, meaning it's going over two characters (the zerowidth space and the bracket).

I hope this can be fixed to prevent further confusion and frustration. :)
