### Steps to reproduce

1. Write something in the editor (for example: `test `) and then type `:`
2. Choose “more…”
3. Choose any of the emojis (for example: “smile”).

### Expected behavior

`smile:` gets appended after the first `:`, resulting in `test :smile:`

### Actual behavior

`smile:` gets appended at the beginning of the message, resulting in `smile: test :`
