Oh whoa it does it for ' as well.

The only way to escape this mode is to triple-click left-mouse until you've highlighted all text, then backspace to delete.

Interesting.

From what I could find, this is related to a bug in a JS library I'm using for this » https://github.com/sergiodlopes/jquery-flexdatalist/issues/230

I give it a couple of weeks to see if the dev of that lib is going to implement the promised patch or not and be looking for alternatives …

A fix for this will be in the next release.
