How do I disable Jira and Confluence automatically changing all of my single and double quotes to smart/curly ones?

I don't want to have to press ctrl-z every time I type one, and I don't want to have to wrap everything in "this is code" tags.

I just want what I typed to stay the way I typed it.

Hi K - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Are you sure it is Atlassian doing it and not just a function of your browser? Does that happen on other sites?

Yes, I'm sure. It doesn't happen with ' and " in this comment box, for instance.
