Autocorrect issue in Messaging

[crankyoldbugge]

I'm having an issue with the Messaging app's autocorrect on the Galaxy S3.

If I type a single quote in a word (as in an abbreviation), I will get two single quotes together (not a double quote, but two single quotes).

For example,

I'll

will be changed to I''ll.

Or another example:

They're gets changed to They''re.

It's annoying!

Anybody else seen this problem before?

If you have auto-correct on, just type Ill instead and it should add the appostrophe.

Personally, I turn off auto-correct. I hate it when the phone changes what I type automatically. I just leave the suggestions on. Also, I use Thumb Keyboard instead of the regular keyboard.
