Three dots become a single ellipsis character

[GoogleCodeExporter]

To reproduce the problem:
1. Enter the query editor
2. Type this sequence, with the quotes:  '...'

Instead of leaving the three dots as typed, the editor replaces them with a 
single ellipsis character. This makes it impossible to, for instance, enter a 
REGEXP with three consecutive dots.

I'm using build 3391.

This is not a feature of Sequel Pro, but of OS X.
Go to System Prefs > Language and Text > Text and disable the replacement 
character.

As for Sequel Pro there are two questions:
1) Can we disable that feature?
2) Should we? Some users might actually use it to store completion strings 
(though we have our own system for that).

Personally, I don't think we should be messing with system defined settings.

On the other hand we are inconsistent: c/o will be replaced, but 1/2 will not 
(perhaps because of syntax highlighting?)
Also Safari on 10.6 at least seems to ignore them too in text boxes.

I'm with Stuart on this one. Users can toggle substitutions from the Edit menu 
as needed:

Edit > Substitutions > Text Replacement
