Description trajj 2005-05-24 20:54:13 UTC 
When typing a sentence that has two hyphens (that should turn into an em dash,
but doesn't: see Issue 49806) followed by a quotation mark, the quotation mark
inserted is an ending quoation mark rather than a beginning quotation mark.

Example:

I live in Texas--"The Lone Star State." 

If this sentence is typed into OO.o, using "fancy" quotes instead of straight
quotation marks, both quotation marks would be ending marks--both would be open
to the left rather than the first set of marks being open to the right and the
second open to the left, thus enclosing the quoted material.
