Studio 2021 editor apostrophe in contractions moves cursor

James McMillan

When typing my translations in the Editor of Trados Studio 2021, every time I type a contraction with an apostrophe in it (isn't, can't didn't etc.) the cursor position shifts to the left of the letter following the apostrophe, "pushing" it along as I type and requiring manual intervention. This is not an issue with my keyboard settings in Windows as I am able to type the contractions with apostrophes normally in other text editors and Word. If I type "didn't" in the Studio editor, I end up with "didn'_t" with the underscore symbolizing the position of the cursor following my typing of the final "t".

My templates and setting are carried over from Studio 2019 and I never experienced this problem before. I wonder if there is a new setting where apostrophe handling behavior in the editor is changed.

    Updating information: I have found that changing my Windows keyboard setting to English-US corrects the issue. I normally leave my keyboard in English - International in order to be able to use accent marks for other languages, and the issue of the cursor jumping back one space seems related to this setting. I can also mitigate the issue while my keyboard setting remains English-International by hitting the space bar after typing the apostrophe, thus "forcing" it to appear as an apostrophe rather potentially an accent mark (which depends on the character typed after the apostrophe key is pressed).

    I have also now seen the same behavior using quotation mark, and the same workarounds described above work for it. I wonder if this is due to a fix to some of the other reported accenting issues in Studio, so it may be a feature rather than a bug (for some, anyway).
