Minor text attribute display issue

[Peter Stephenson <pws@xxxxxxx>]

With recent versions of rxvt, I've noticed that if I have text
attributes set for the area of text I'm editing, and delete some of that
text, causing spaces to be produced at the end of the line by the
deletion (even if there were some spaces there before), then the final
space gets the attribute of the current text.  This appears to turn that
off cleanly.
