(SOLVED! See below.) One reason I migrated much of my work to the Edge browser on the Mac is that it played nicely with MacOS transformations—mainly, the automatically generated smart quotes (as I type).
All of a sudden, that has stopped working—specifically in (don’t laugh) Blogger. Not related to any upgrade in the OS or Edge itself, far as I can tell. And transformations still work in Blogger on, for instance, Chrome.
Any suggestions?
P.S. Works fine in Edge in a separate login on this same M3 MacBook Air …
After painstakingly turning off one extension after another, I’ve figured out it’s the Grammarly browser plug-in that was preventing my quotes from being smartened. (Go figure.)
I have Grammarly installed at the OS level, so I’ve turned off the extension.
Thanks for the update, Charlie! It’ll be a good thing to be aware of for the future, and one of the reasons I appreciate coming here and browsing through the topics - sometimes something will happen in the future and I’ll think back to “I remember seeing that”, and then it’s easier to resolve the issue.
A bit of clarification from Grammarly support:
“Other spellcheckers (including your default spellchecker) get deactivated while you are using Grammarly, so that there is no confusion between the different spellcheckers’ underlines and highlights.”
