Semagic and Smart Quotes

Just in case anybody else is having this problem...

Just in the last couple of days after upgrading to the latest version of Semagic, I’ve started getting "smart quotes" instead of the straight quotation marks when typing in the Editor window, which of course plays havoc with my HTML. After submitting a question to the development team, [livejournal.com profile] quirrc got back to me with the suggestion that I use Semagic’s Autoreplace function (under the Edit Menu) to fix the problem.

So I’ve told the program to replace all instances of smart quotes with straight quotes, and it seems to work now... or at least it works when I go to actually post, even if the smart quotes still show up as I’m typing.

Now if I could only figure out why Semagic won’t show me the names of the people in my Edit Friends window... but [livejournal.com profile] quirrc and I are still working on that one.

I did something on my keyboard, I have no idea what, and I'm having the same smart quote problem. It's driving me to distraction.
