--- Comment #4 from Jon Pienaar <jonpienaar at gmail.com> ---
Yep, still happening with latest version (5.3.2.2).

Fix: Type document with ' straight single quote, then use 'Search and Replace'
to place ’ symbol. The only problem is that you can't then use single quotes
for dialogue, as the end quote will be facing the wrong way. This is a problem
for some publications' style guides, as they prefer singles. I guess the
workaround /then/ is to use double quotes (still selected to 'smart'), and use
Search and Replace to change them to single quotes.
