When using visual studio - when I type an open quotation character in the code designer nothing happens, it seems like the key command is held back for some reason until I type another quotation character, then both are sent to the screen at once.
Same applies for single quotes, or double quotes.
This is annoying, and I would like normal typing behaviour back, is there any way to fix this issue?
Thank you
Found the answer: changing the default input language for the keyboard to "English (United States) – US" solves the problem.

Check your keyboard layout setting on the language bar while Visual Studio has focus and make sure it's what you expect it to be. It sounds like the layout changed to one that supports dead keys.
If you have multiple layouts installed, try setting the change sequence to a specific key instead of just Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift (i.e. Alt+Shift+Num). This will cut down on accidental layout changes.
Hope this helps.
