Recap of writing convention (to explain why this is a problem):

When writing, and you are quoting a speaker, the convention is to enclose the
speaker's words in double quotes. If that speaker is quoting someone, then the
information the speaker is quoting is enclosed in single quotes (within the
speakers double quotes.

When a speaker's text continues for more than one paragraph, the convention is
to not put a closing double quote at the end of any paragraph, except for the
last paragraph being quoted; each continued paragraph is begun with an opening
double quote.

Similarly, when quoting a speaker's quote of someone else across paragraphs,
the convention is to not put a closing single quote at the end of any
paragraph, except for any last which also ends with the speakers quoted quote.
Such a paragraph would be ended with a closing single quote, followed by a
closing double quote.

When beginning a new paragraph which continues a speakers quotation of someone
else, the convention is to begin each continued paragraph with an opening
double quote, followed by an opening single quote.

(Technically, to improve readability, most times paired quotes are separated by
a thin or hair space. Too much space between paired quotes is what led me to
write bug 125945.)

Statement of bug:

The problem here is with beginning a new speaker's quotation of someone else.

In proportionally spaced fonts, typing double-quote single-quote produces an
opening-double-quote and a closing-single-quote. It should product an
opening-double-quote and an opening-single-quote.
