Question about glitch in posts. [View all]

I've noticed that when you type something in parentheses that also has double quotes, when you close it all, you have a closed double quote character followed by a closed parenthesis character, and then when you post it, the closed parenthesis character always gets changed to a smiley face character. How do you keep this from happening?

I'm going to type that sequence several times now just to confirm that it's what's happening, and then when I post this and open it up again, if it's not happening, I'll immediately delete this post.

(something in "parentheses and quotes&quot

(let's see if this happens "again&quot

(one more "time&quot

Maybe a solution would be to put a space between the closed double quote and the closed parenthesis ("example" ), but you shouldn't have to do that, you should be able to type that sequence of characters without it changing it.
