Noticed an issue with `#` autocomplete when composing a reply. Basically I start typing `#` in a context where I don’t want to tag something (e.g. `#s`) but even after hitting ‘space’, or several spaces, the autocomplete dialogue still shows and if I hit ‘return’ it autocompletes when I didn’t want it to.

Note: below Dropbox video link seems to not be displaying correctly as embed. Here’s the raw URL: `https://www.dropbox.com/s/dx4tlkobrx1w170/discourse-hashtag-autocomplete-bug.mov?dl=0`
