Onscreen Keyboard Colon jumping

Whenever I type a colon using the onscreen keyboard on my myTouch 3g the colon will jump back a space (which is quite unhelpful when trying to type a smiley). Is there any way to disable this? Preferably without using a third party keyboard app.

Example:
Hello : will become Hello: which is quite annoying because I'll have to backspace to make a normal smiley face.

I'm running SuperCDSI v4 but this has happened on every ROM I've used.
 
It does that with me too on standard Android 1.6. Only with the virtual keyboard, not the physical keyboard.

The only solution I know of is to turn "Quick fixes" off. For me that's in Menu -> Settings -> Locale & text -> Android keyboard (On-screen keyboard settings) -> Quick fixes.
