I have both the ISO and ANSI US/international keyboard, and I can type all of the following quotes without using dead keys: ‘…’, “…”, "…", '…', and `…`.
I can confirm that this also happens with the standard French layout with the ` backtick, the selected text just disappear. As the OP says, not a really harmful, significant bug, I just want to confirm that there's an issue.
Well, I can certainly reproduce it. What I didn’t understand is how the OP couldn’t type the above quotes on a US keyboard without using dead keys.
I use the US-International keyboard layout too. To type ', I usually press ' then space, but I just accidentally discovered I can press ctrl ' for that. If I select text then try quoting it via ' then space, I trigger the reported bug, but not when using ctrl '. So, OP can consider using ctrl ' for quoting as a workaround. Also helpful: Toggle Single / Double String Quotes from the Source bundle, and Toggle Quote Style from the Ruby bundle (both accessible via ctrl cmd T). To type ", I press shift ' then space. I don't know how to type this character any other way to act as a workaround for quoting selected text. Also, I don't know how to type ‘, ’, “ or ”, it would be nice to learn how to do that.
