--- Comment #6 from Laurent BP <jumbo4444 at yahoo.fr> ---
@Eike: fr-CH users were used to get a round apostrophe U+2019 ’ when they use '
key in a middle of a word. It looks much nicer than a straight apostrophe.

This behavior is expected since the world is world (or almost) and brutal
modification of such behavior with a minor version of LibO (6.0.1 => 6.0.2) is
not correct for "normal" user. I propose to postpone this modification to 6.1
branch.

I think the problem is that we (French users in general) use ' key as either an
apostrophe (which should always be U+2019) and a single quote which could be
different according to locale. In French, apostrophe is much frequent than
single quote.

So we would need 3 different replacements for ' key:
- single quote start: if there are letters only after quote
- single quote end: if there are letters only before
- apostrophe: of there are letters before and after

Except fr-CH, all fr-* are using same character U+2019 for single quote end and
apostrophe. I don't know if some other locales use a different character for
apostrophe and single quote end.
