No Auto-Pair Quotes when Note Begins with a Quote

I write fiction, so sometimes I begin the body of a note with quotation marks (i.e., to indicate dialogue). Whenever I do, it breaks the auto-pairing feature for whatever type of quote I used (single or double). If I remove the first quote, the auto-pairing works again.

Steps to reproduce

With “Auto-pair brackets” toggled on:

  1. Type something in a new note that begins with a single or double quotation mark. It should auto-pair
  2. Press enter once or twice to go to a new line
  3. Type something new with the same type of quotation mark you began the note with.

Expected result

  • Auto-paired quotation marks

Actual result

  • No auto-paired quotation marks
  • If I remove JUST the first quote at the beginning of the note, the auto-pairing will work again.

Additional information

The same problem occurs in the sandbox, so I don’t think it is related to any plugins I have on.
