Hi Lars — Thanks for the quick attention. I’ve watched your video, and sure enough, if I do exactly what you do, I see the (correct) behavior you do. However, after playing with a bunch of times here, what I see is that Gmail behaves differently if you *paste* text in the Subject field of the Filter dialog vs. if you *type* in the field. In my testing, when I edit the Filter, the filter text is unchanged until I type the first (new) character in the field, at which point the first quotation-mark changes into a smart quote. But if I do exactly what you do and paste the text, then the character-substitution behavior doesn’t happen.
Can you try again, and this time instead of pasting << |”new text” >>, try typing the characters. If that doesn’t help you repro it, let me know & I’ll record a video so you can see exactly what I’m doing. Thanks! — Tom On Mon, Dec 28, 2015 at 5:15 PM, Mailplane Support <[email protected] > wrote: > Hi Tom, > > Thanks for reporting it.
