Bug Description

Currently the automatic switch back from certain characters on the symbol page only happens with ? and !, this makes it difficult to type a sentence like:
"This is so awesome!!!!"

We should check what other platform's keyboards do and match the keys they automatically switch back on.

  * Only switch back automatically from the symbol page if the user
    presses space or apostrophe and make pre-edit behaviour when
    entering symbols more consistent. (LP: #1359404)
  * Update Serbian layout to account for changes in POT generation and
    extended bottom row layout.
  * Clear the surrounding text buffer when clearing the preedit buffer.
    (LP: #1361732)
  * Deactivate autocaps if re-entering a field that already has text in
    it. (LP: #1366779)
