Typing quotation marks in Vista
Why on earth is this happenning???
When I try to type a quotation mark ie: " ... It requires me to put the next character in to display the quote mark... Is there a way to turn this off, or even does anyone know what this "feature" is called??? Putting a space after the quote mark displays the mark, without the space...not helpful for those millions of us who are used to typing NORMALLY! Any help on this would be great.. -Skyhawker
