Studio 2021 editor apostrophe in contractions moves cursor

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.

  • I know this post is three years old, but I had the same problem and found another solution, which was to disable the 'Replace "straight quotes" with smart quotes' option under Options > Editor > AutoCorrect. (The first thing I tried was switching my keyboard to US instead of Int'l, but in my case that did not solve the problem. Even if it had, it would not be a good solution for me as I am so accustomed to using Int'l that if I try to use US I am constantly automatically hitting the space bar after every punctuation mark to skip the dead key and instead adding spaces to all of my contractions Sweat smile)
