another curly quotes issue / x-posted from NWP Beta forum

With curly quotes enabled, when I type a double quote followed by a single quote, the single quote comes out as a closing quote rather than an opening quote.
e.g.
“’hello’ he said”
when the desired result should be
“‘hello’ he said”
Adding a space between the double and single quote leads the single quote to be an opening quote, but I then need to go back and delete the space.

I solved the problem (for the time being) by unchecking "Use smart ponctuation” in the QuickFix menu which is in the preferences, and then I told Martin at Nisus… He said he was going to fix this.
Well, Martin?

Thanks Derick, I've filed the bug for fixing.

I might have done that... I do remember discussing additional spacing issues with French guillemets, which should be fixed now, but that's all. Sorry for any misinformation- I don't mean to be a liar!
