Yes - which would be Word 2019 - no idea which month, MS installs new versions of Office 365 without so much as a '… and thank your mother for the rabbits', let alone a list of improvements and fixes. But on reflection, it may have come via the new version of the Transtools addin I installed recently.

IIRC the quote is initially shown as a straight quote and gets changed to a curly when you press the space bar or Enter (which is off-putting), that makes me think its in auto-correct or it's a macro. I've been typing quote, backspace, ctrl+alt+num-, and End for almost 30 years, no doubt I'll continue to do so.
