Yeah. The FR plain-text to HTML interpretation, seems to be only seeing the right, closing, double-quotes. And . . . is using plain, upright double-quotes to affect a quoted form (like encapsulating a string of characters separated by spaces).

Here is a list of double-quotes HTML codes. I'm going to include spaces, so the text shows; followed by another row, not including such spaces.

The problem characters should appear to be different. These are all right closing double-quotes, or plain upright double-quotes:

& quot ; "

" "

Those look the same to me.

- - - - - - -

& # 34 ; "

" "

Those look the same to me.

- - - - - - -

& # 132 ; „

„ „

Those do NOT look the same to me.

- - - - - - -

& # 148 ; ”

” ”

Those do NOT look the same to me.

- - - - - - -

& # 168 ; ¨

¨ ¨

Those look the same to me. (I am not sure what that symbol is.)

FR sees 132 and 148 as some other, right, double-quotes character, that is not a part of the traditional 1 thru 255 HTML code.

Those look the same to me.

Those look the same to me.

And all three of those examples, look the same to me.
