> Getting a pretty obscure bug with TinyMCE in certain situations. Turning
> on bold text either with the toolbar button or Ctrl-B then starting to
> type, Chrome 38 will crash with the first keystroke.
>
> It's possibly a Chrome issue - it's only come to light with Chrome 38
> released last week and isn't (currently) happening with Chrome Canary 40,
> however it's only happening in WordPress, not with straight TinyMCE and
> most notably, only when using the Twenty Twelve theme (or children of
> it).

> I'm almost certain it has something to do with the U+FEFF (ZERO WIDTH NO-
> BREAK SPACE / BYTE ORDER MARK) character that gets inserted when bold
> text is turned on as they cause crashes in the frontend of WordPress
> sites as well.
