Details:

When I am typing a string in the GUI editor, there is a 50% change that the
string quotes are correct. I cannot detect any logic in it when they are right
or wrong. In the Command Window they are always correct.


This is the result of a single quote string from the GUI editor (via
copy-paste into the command window):

>> disp(´Hello´)
error: invalid character '�' (ASCII 194) near line 1, column 7
parse error:

  syntax error

>>> disp(´Hello´)
         ^


The same happens with a double quote string from the GUI editor (also via
copy-paste to the command window):

>> disp(¨Hello¨)
error: invalid character '�' (ASCII 194) near line 1, column 7
parse error:

  syntax error

>>> disp(¨Hello¨)
         ^


You can immediately see that the quoting in the editor is going wrong due to
the different shape of the quote symbols and the text color is not yellow but
black.
