For inatance, you entered text into the "Your Reply" box editor that had a right-hand slanted apostrophe like this:

>> I’m using Opera on Win 10. <<

However, when I just copy/pasted the result back into the "Your Reply" box tp show you what happened it came up in the Preview box as:

>> I’m <<

It changed again!

But going back to the beginning, when I corrected your entry as it was printed out in your Post #8 to replace the slanted apostrophe by editing it in this "Your Reply" box, such that the apostrophe is not left- or right-handed, but straight (as rendered by the effect of my keyboard calling out the single apostrophe supplied by the FR text editor), it is entered as:

>> I'm using Opera on Win 10. <<

and it comes up in the Preview box as:

>> I'm using Opera on Win 10. <<

Does this make sense to you?

You normalized my entry to account for the parsing bug that has recently showed up on FR.

Don’t go nuts explaining the details. But I’m glad you confirmed what I’m seeing!

Regrettably, I’m all too familiar with character encoding issues. This particular problem looks to be UTF-8 being interpreted as ANSI.
