Auto pair single quotes after closing bracket disrupts possessive apostrophe

Bug graveyard
,
1

Steps to reproduce

Typing [[Luhmann]]'s produces [[Luhmann]]'s' - an auto-paired set of single-quotes instead of an apostrophe-“s” (for a possessive)

Expected result

The auto-pairing should not be triggered when the single quote immediately follows a ].

Environment

  • Operating system: macOS 10.15.7
  • Obsidian version: 0.10.1

Same, I noticed this as well when directly after ] and ) but not after [0-9a-Z] characters.

i have the same issue with the possessive case. It turns all the following text red unless it’s closed with another '…

Same. Any workaround or change in settings for this?

Type an apostrophe?

SHIFT OPT ]

  • OPT ] for left (opening) single quotation mark
  • SHIFT OPT ] for right (closing) single quotation mark or apostrophe
  • OPT [ for left (opening) double quotation mark
  • SHIFT OPT [ for right (closing) double quotation mark

it’s also on windows 11

On mobile I work around this by long-pressing apostrophe to select the one I want (when I remember), but it would be great to have this fixed.

Awesome! It’s FIXED now in 1.5. My bug report was from December 2023, so this came in just under the three-year anniversary.
