I just had this problem the other day. I re-installed ubuntu studio on my laptop and I ended up with this crazy ' only happening when I typed it twice. If I typed 's it gave me a different character that kind of looked like 's but was some other character. I apparently missed a character during

Nice! Thank you all for your help. I will check this out further when I get home tonight. Although I studied French and German in my younger years, English is really the only language that I am typing these days; I don't often need to type accents, but I am frequently needing to use an apostroph

Fix the keyboard layout. What you are seeing is not a single quote but a latin accent. ' -> quote ` -> accent ´ -> other accent Why you have to press it twice? Because àccénts gó with léttèrs. So you préss the accent and then the lèttér it goes with. And if you want it alone, you press it twice.

I had a problem similar to this in 7.04, after I installed an update. Some how the keyboard layout was changed. Reseting the keyboard layout to the standard US keyboard worked for me. On Nov 27, 2007 10:32 PM, Darrin Goodman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Greetings, > > I´ve been using Ubuntu since
