Jira and Confluence automatically changes my single quotes to smart/curly ones if it detects a known contraction word and therefore infers that I want an apostrophe. So it changes "don't" to "don’t", but it does not change "do'nt" to "do’nt".
We can't be expected to press ctrl-z every time we type a contraction. I want what I typed to stay the way I typed it.
This is not a browser setting. It doesn't happen in a Google search input field, or in this input field I'm currently typing in to ask this question in the forum.
This is a dealbreaker for search. Especially since Jira's work item search DOESN'T replace straight quotes in the input field, but then treats straight and curly quotes as different characters. So if I'm searching for `comment ~ "can't reply"`, the results do not include work items where "can’t reply" appears in the comments.
This is not an implementation that my support agents could ever be expected to trust. How do I make it stop?
