--- Comment #18 from zh_CN User Community Liaison <plateauwolf at qq.com> ---
The core issue of this bug, IMHO, is that curly double quotation marks (U+201C
and U+201D) are widely used in both English and (simplified) Chinese, so LO has
no way to know which style (western or Asian) it should apply to these
quotation marks, and has to rely on context.

There are potentially more characters that cause such problem, the most obvious
being single quotation marks.  But I've also seen the middle dot (U+00B7) and
em dash (U+2014) with similar problems.

The quotation marks are especially visible because the current bug makes them
unsymmetrical, which brings quite some visual discomfort.  So the obvious
brute-force solution is that instead of determining their style according to
context, LO can just make sure the quotation marks are consistently using the
same style, either through some language/locale setting as comment 14
mentioned, or as an special setting that can be changed by the user.  In other
words, treat quotation marks differently than the other characters.
