screenshot of json text with how quote marks should look, and how they look
after you type them in kate . bright green arrows with the words 'nice' and
'BAD!' attached

DESCRIPTION

if you're editing a json file ; type \" to add a " symbol to text ; it will
become \"" instead . this doesnt happen if you add \" before a word (e.g. W=
ORD
to \"WORD works correctly); instead it only happens before a space (e.g. ONE
TWO to \"ONE\" TWO --- will become \"ONE\"" TWO instead)


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. have autobrackets enabled
2. open a .json file and have text in it . for example:

                "bandage": "Dressing",
                "bandagedsc": "A roll of dressing with a bandage, used to s=
low
down bleeding, stabilize fractures and aid skin healing. Has no effect on
muscle health.",

3. try to wrap any word in "quotes" . that doesnt work in json, so you have=
 to
format it as \"quotes\"

OBSERVED RESULT

quotation marks work normally and i get "A roll of \"dressing\" with  banda=
ge
etc etc."

EXPECTED RESULT

quotation marks before a space work abnormally and i get "A roll of
\"dressing\"" with  bandage etc etc."; which breaks the entire json after t=
he
incorrect \""
