 When using the classic editor in the Chrome browser, an issue occurs where
 the space bar stops working when trying to add a new post.

 To reproduce, using chrome:

 1. Create a new post.
 2. Type a few words in the visual editor, and hit shift+enter.
 3. Type a few more words, and hit shift+enter again.
 4. Type a few more words.  Now all the words run together.

 === Notes

 * Tested and reproduced the issue on 3 different sites (2 platforms), plus
 two local VVV installs.
 * Happens on WP 5.2, also observed in versions 5.1.x
 * Tested using Mac OS 10.14.4, Chrome Version 74.0.3729.131
 * This happens _only_ in the Chrome browser.  It works fine on Firefox Dev
 (67.0b18) and Safari (Version 12.1)
 * This happens _only_ in the visual tab of the editor, not on the text
 side.
 * This happens only using the Classic editor, not Gutenberg.
