What's Wrong?

When I try to use Lithuanian closing double quote symbol claude code refuses to do it. As well it looks like it assumes and " is the same symbol.

It appears the quotes are already correct - they're using „ (left double quotation mark) and " (right double quotation mark) which are the proper Lithuanian quotes. The system is showing they're already the same, so no changes are needed.

What Should Happen?

It should use Lithuanians quote correctly. As well I get errors like:

⏺ Update(Dashboard.tsx)
  ⎿  Error editing file
