Hello everyone,

We have a bug in all browsers regarding mentioning.  
It gets stuck in an infinite loop and the tab freezes completely.

We are in version 2.3.3 of discourse, however this patch [FIX: infinite loop when mentioning in IE11 · discourse/discourse@1e4f0ac · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/1e4f0ac2160fd06cb4815460beb75abe9fd809c2#diff-1bb63498330ac9ca9e1b553caed0b300)  
seems to fix the problem.

Is there a way that you can backport the fix to older versions as well?

Thank you,
