Setup: * LibreOffice 4.5.0.0 (master) with Hebrew (CTL) support * Smart quotes are on (check the checkbox in Tools > AutoCorrect Options... > Localised Options > Double Quotes > Replace). * Linux Mint 17.1, 32-bit Reproduce: 1. Create a new file. 2. Type a Hebrew sentence in quotes, without a full stop at the end (example: “האיש הולך הביתה"). 3. Type another Hebrew sentence in quotes, with a full stop at the end (example: “האיש הולך לעבודה.”). Expected Result: In both cases, the quotation marks enclosing the Hebrew sentences should be curved according to the symbols picked in AutoCorrect options. Actual Result: In the first case, the last quote is not replaced with a curved quote, but remains as a “Gershayim” sign. In the second case, the quotes are both replaced correctly. I believe the reason is that in Hebrew, Gershayim is used inside of acronyms (such as מנכ"ל, פלמ"ח), and that LibreOffice interprets placing a quote directly after a letter as necessarily writing an acronym. This behaviour is confusing and does not correspond to any setting invoked by the user. It can be a useful feature, but it has to be handled differently.

What happens when you type some Hebrew letters before the quoted phrase?
When entering text before the quoted phrase, nothing changes. Afterwards, if I delete the first quotation mark and type in another, the "Gershayim" character is used instead of the curved quote. The "Gershayim" character is also used if I insert Hebrew letters, return to the beginning of the line and type in a quotation mark.
