How do i get quote mark to replace selection

Hi,

I have just updated to lo 25.8.1.1 x86 64 on my win10 laptop.
I would like, when typing a quote mark or bracket, etc. in writer, to have it replace selected text, as it used to do in the older version, rather than enclose the selection in quote marks or brackets, etc. Is there an option somewhere that will enable me to return to the older behaviour?
Thanks
/Gary

I guess, you already checked release notes when decided to upgrade? :slight_smile:

Applying the new feature overrides the setting to NOT replace ordinary quotes and doublequotes by their “typographic” partners.
I always disable that automtism, and even change the replacements selected under localized options to the straight versions. This is disregarded if the new option is enabled.
Can this be intentional?
