On at least two different Discourse sites I’ve run into a problem where when I select text and hit “Quote” to reply, smart quotes get used in one place which breaks the appearance of my post. Here is a screenshot of an example post that is displaying incorrectly because of the smart quote at the end of the first line (inside the brackets):
Obviously a true fix should be made for a bug, but in case it will be useful in the meantime I’ll mention that a workaround might be to remove double quotes from the Markdown typographer quotation marks site setting, or disable the Enable markdown typographer site setting.
I am assuming that it is this “Markdown typographer” feature that is causing the replacement of the correct straight double quote character in the BBCode tag with the incorrect “smart” or “curly quote” character.
Its a good hunch, but I remember a similar issue from years ago and recall we even carry some code in Discourse that converts “→ " to handle this edge case.
@jtbayly do these sites have the new composer enabled?
