Screenshot
If I have an East-Asian character in my (predominantly English) document,
followed by a quotation mark (opening or closing), the quotation mark takes the
font settings from the "Asian text font" section of the style definition. This
results in very ugly copy.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Type some western text into LO Writer, surrounded by quotation marks (e.g.
"sun").
2. Move the cursor to before the opening quotation mark, and type (or paste --
the IME is not relevant) an East-Asian character (e.g. 日).
Current behaviour:
The initial quotation mark takes the settings from "Asian text font" instead of
"Western text font". The behaviour is the same if a (normal-width, western)
space comes between the East-Asian character and the opening quotation mark.
Expected behaviour:
The opening quotation mark, being surrounded by a normal-width space on one
side, and a Latin letter ("s" in this case) on the other, should take the
"Western text font" settings.
The only way to "work-around" this problem is to select the characters that
have been rendered incorrectly and manually force the application of the
"Western text font" settings. Of course, this breaks if "Clear Direct
Formatting" is used.
It's not clear to me why typing an opening quotation mark immediately after an
East-Asian character results in the insertion of Asian punctuation (e.g. 「 or
『). If I wanted Asian punctuation, I would, of course, type Asian punctuation.
I don't know if this is connected.

I'm currently using LO Version 4.0.4.2 (Build ID: 400m0(Build:2)) on Linux Mint
14 amd64, but the problem has been around as long as I can remember and on
every platform I've tried.
