Product:Mail Product Version:8.1 (1993)
Classification:UI/Usability Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
When typing a message in Mail (Yosemite version, never had that problem in Mavericks), leaving smart quotes on, any word that contains an apostrophe, which is converted to a single closing quote, makes the cursor jump to the character that follows the single quote when ending the word and typing a space.

i.e. if I type O'Malley, the cursor goes between the "M" and the "a" when typing the space after the word.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new message in Mail
2. Enable "Smart Quotes" in Edit -> Substitutions if not already enabled.
3. Type one or two words with an apostrophe and no space between them, i.e. O'Malley
4. Type a space after the word


Expected Results:
The cursor should stay in place.

Actual Results:
The cursor jumps back to the character after the apostrophe. 

Version:
Mail Version 8.1 (1993)
OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.1 (14B25)

Configuration:
Macbook Air 2011, 1,7 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB RAM
