  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.
