In KTextbox, Deleting a character jumps cursor to end of text field

See original GitHub issue

String is being trimmed too aggressively, likely due to our use of v-model.trim.

Observed behavior

In any k-input, deleting a single bookending letter automatically throws the cursor to the next word.

Expected behavior

Deleting a single letter only deletes that letter, Not the space before or after it.

User-facing consequences

Unexpected naming/renaming. Frustration.

Steps to reproduce

Find an input outside of exercises. E.g. New/Edit Group/User/Class/etc.
Type out a string that includes a single letter. E.g. “David C”, “A Man”, “T Roosevelt”
Delete the single letter via Backspace/delete

I think we should probably get rid of the .trim we us on KeenUITextbox, and just delegate this cleanup step to the forms that require it.

Arguably, this trimming/cleaning shouldn’t be used in the majority of cases, maybe only on usernames. With everything else, we should allow trailing spaces
