<pre>As requested recently by @tommy27 in <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=54409#c15">Comment 15</a>, I tested for the bug with a
recent linux version of LibreOffice; Version 6.0.6.2 on Ubuntu 18.04LTS 64-bit.
This bug is still reproducible as per description in original report.
I also compared the effect of turning smart quotes on and off (all words
entered as acn, not can):
SMART/CURVED QUOTES TURNED OFF
can can "can "can" 'can 'can' can'
SMART/CURVED QUOTES TURNED ON
can can “acn “acn” acn” ‘acn ‘acn’ acn’
To turn smart quotes on and off, see (for example)
Go to Tools > Autocorrect > Autocorrect Options > Localized Options Tab
Check/uncheck the boxes next to Start Quote Replace and End Quote Replace.
I'm guessing the fix for this bug involves updating underlying code for
Autocorrection to take account of the additional unicode symbols associated
with smart quotes. A list of these symbols can be found at
