@curlyquotefails@alxlg@edwiebe@obsidianmd Although I’ve seen it before, I haven’t run into that issue much (certainly it doesn’t affect me day-to-day). It seems like a technical problem to be solved rather than a reason to throw in the towel and use straight quotes where they’re not appropriate.
For anyone who cares about typography, straight quotes in prose are a nonstarter. They also create problems in anything that’s heading to a designer for layout.
