Different languages have different conventions for quotation marks.

English dos it the right way, of course. Dutch, among others, does it the way you describe.

See

for (probably accurate) details

An example would be.

,, I don't like carrots."

The ,, being the first quotation marks. They are on the bottom...and the second set of marks are where they should be.

I have no idea what might cause this and have been flying by the seat of my pants trying to fix it.

Has anyone come across this before and if so, how did you fix it?

Thanking you in advance,
