Strange keyboard issue with quotation mark and more

Hello,

I am not really sure how to describe my issue, but it has to do with the ~ mark, the ^ and " only.

So when I use " for example, it highlights yellow, and its very stiff looking " as opposed to the regular “ (copied from google, as you can see it's tilted) and when I try and use my " it not only highlights yellow, it gets a temporary underline (which vanishes) and when I try and type a letter next to the " it automatically generates another "

When typing on THIS thread, the " will vanish if I try and put something in quotation marks. Its behaving different on different platforms.

The ~and ^do the same weird thing with the yellow highlight and temporary underline, but they formulate normally when typed. I don't even use these symbols, just noticed it when typing diff keys.

I have already checked under system settings > keyboard > text to make sure its the right abc

I have tried both -use smart quotations and dashes- on and off <- see I couldn't even use the " correctly

This so odd and annoying.

Thanks for any help!!!
