Intellij uexpected quote behaivor

Question

When I start typing a quoted text I hit " and begin typing my text. At the end I hit again " to close the quote.

However, what happens next is completely wrong and annoying.

In the picture above the ending quote is underlined. In order to fix it I have to type any character to make it go away. The typed character is not printed and the underline form " goes away.

When I don't do this and now put the cursor to another position in the code while the " is still underlined and start typing again the first character at the new cursor position is the ". The " where it was before is removed or moved to the new cursor position.

How can have a normal quote behavior? I couldn't find any other quote setting in the config.

Btw. The Insert pair quotes setting is disabled

Answer 1

Normally I use a US layout to hack and the German layout for anything else.

I always wondered what is the actual difference between the US Layout and US International (PC) layout. Turns out, that the described problem in my question is one of those differences.

After switching from US International (PC) to US Layout, the problem is gone.
