a few lines including fancy quotation marks

STR
(1) download and open attached file "b"

    expected  : one typeface, with content ...

                 -  header comments range from “good enough to ask ic to
            review” down through “I am ashamed to show them” to
            “nonexistent”.  So ask ic for advice ...

    observed : the double quotes themselves and the text the contained
    are omitted, and everything retained after the first double quote
    is bold ...

                -  header comments range from down through to
           .  So ask ic for advice ...

The double quotes involved are: opening = hex e2 80 9c and closing =
hex e2 80 9d.  It was only when I started to prepare this report that
I realized that I had anything other that plain ASCII double quotes.

I see this in daily Linux dbgutil bibisect repository version
2107-10-05 and bibisect-41all version latest.  (bibisect-41all version
oldest does not run for me.)

I see this behaviour is several ways in LibreOffice:
(*) Open the file in Writer;
(*) Insert the file into a Writer document;
(*) Copy the contents of the file from a plain text editor (I use
    emacs) into a Writer document;
(*) Paste the contents of the file into a cell in a Calc worksheet.

Repro.

In 3.3, it pops up a dialog which has UTF-8 pre-selected and thus works ok.
