--- Comment #1 from Eltomito <[email protected]> --- Okay, so I'm the idiot here, because it does work but it works in a sort of a confusing way. Bear with me now. The way it's set up, the quote replacement works out of the box until you start messing with it. And for some reason, I did starts messing with it many years ago. The most probable reason was that I was writing a bilingual text and it got annoying to mark the different sections as "Czech" or "English", so I turned of spell checking for the whole document. But that broke the quote replacement! So, I found the appropriate section and selected the right type of quotes for whatever language manually. And from then on, the setting was broken for eternity, because I never realized it was language-dependent when you set it to "Default". And it's probably because the tab the quotes are on have the language selector disabled which makes it look like the setting is global for all languages. And it actually is global for all languages, unless you select "Default" as the quote character. So the whole problem is the somewhat confusing UI design. IMO it would help if the "Default" setting was renamed to "Language default" and there was a hover tip or some other hint that explained that the quotes will be selected according to the language of the text being written. It may sound obvious to you but I swear I've been cursing this apparent misfeature for over 10 years until I decided to file this bug report about it which made me focus on the workings of it and realize it was actually there the whole time. So the title of the feature request should actually be "Improve the clarity of the quote replacement UI". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
