Instead of apostrophe in LibreOffice 5.1, the character » appears.

Hi!

My current LibreOffice version is 5.1.2.2.0.
In all my LibreOffice applications whenever I try to type the apostrophe character, I get a double right-pointing angle quotation mark... this: ». This happens only in LibreOffice apps, nowhere else in my system, none of my other apps. My OS language is English with en_US.UTF-8 locale and LibreOffice is set to English. My keyboard however is Hungarian and its layout is set to standard Hungarian. Nothing wrong with it, no special changes were made, everything is fine except in LibreOffice.

What could cause such thing? I type regularly in English so the apostrophe is essential but I have to copy-paste it from some other place for some time now. I can't recall when did this happen, a few versions ago there was no such problem. I just noticed it a few days ago but a lot of Google searches revealed nothing, it seems almost if I were the only person with this problem but I can't be the only one affected. Furthermore this is the only character affected, I couldn't find any else that won't match to my keyboard layout.

If I switch to the maintenance branch, version 5.0.6.3, the problem goes away. It seems that v5.1 is at fault.

This needs reporting and tracking at Libreoffice's bug tracker, as its almost certainly a bug with their software.
