Probably related to #216734

When pasting content with a regular double quote, e.g. this line:
Test "test" test
(do not select a trailing \n) 

and then pressing enter, WebKit converts this to:
Test "test” test
(notice that the last quote is converted to be a smart quote)

I don't think that quotes should be converted in this manner, and instead quotes should only be converted immediately after they were typed.
TextEdit and Pages exhibit the preferred behavior.
