Apostrophe handling in text-mode with smartparens-strict-mode

[rpglover64]

Repro

1. Type a word with an apostrophe (e.g. "isn't").
2. Backspace until you're back at the beginning of the buffer.
3. Observe that the apostrophe isn't deleted.

Works for me, so I guess we just have silly defaults.

Do you load smartparens-config file? If not, try adding (sp-pair "'" nil :unless '(sp-point-after-word-p)) somewhere to your config.

I haven't checked my configs yet, but evaluating said sexp does not solve the problem.

I'm using spacemacs (and thus evil), and the problem occurs both in insert state and in emacs state.

With smartparens-mode, smartparens-strict-mode,(require 'smartparens-config), and eval-expression of that snippet you posted, repeatedly calling sp-backward-delete-char from the end of this (in text-mode):

"this" doesn't

will delete the t but then skip over doesn', jumping into the double quotes (just after s).

I'm seeing this with evil-mode disabled too.

@braham-snyder I can reproduce this, but I think the issue is unrelated (the OPs problem I can't reproduce anymore). Would you be so kind and open a new issue (just copy over the text from here I guess). Thanks!
