' char changes to ’ in TextArea

General
1

When typing the ’ char in a TextArea, it always auto changes this into ’ (it gets Italic).
I have disabled ‘Allow Styled Text’ without any luck.
It also is the case with " → “

Why is this? And how can this be avoided?

This is probably your operating system rather than the IDE.

Which OS?

Probably something like this:

macOS.

When I disable MultiLine it does not change it. Very odd. Looks like a bug in Xojo.

Check your Keyboard System Preferences to see if smart quotes and dashes is enabled.

FWW I tried several keyboard system settings but no matter what I select, it changes the chars.
Again, it does not change it when disabling MultiLine.

That should be the AutomaticQuoteSubstitution of NSTextView. NSTextField does not have that property.
Did you try to disable it via declare?
