Apostrophe

This is weird, but is anybody else having a problem using the apostrophe?

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Thanks for this great thread. For the past 2 weeks I've been going crazy trying to work out what's been going on with my Keyboard!


In my case it seemed that typing a contraction with an apostrophe in the left half of a dialogue box caused my screen to scroll to the top. Pressing the space bar then caused it to scroll down again. When typing the contraction in the right half of a dialog box, my cursor would jump a character to the left.


Unchecking Edit>Substitutions>Text Replacement - fixed my problem too.


I can now type I've again 🙂


Is this a Safari bug or something else?
