Hi,

once again a strage behaviour:

\starttext
\en
"u
\de
"u
\en
"u
\stoptext

gives me

"u ü ü
(quotationmarks u uumlaut uumlaut)

shouldn't this be 

"u ü "u??

Viele Gruesse,

  Patrick Gundlach

this is a shortcoming of the active character method used non-grouped, \de
invokes language specifics and these make " active so after \en this si
still the ace. You can overload that in \en specifics. 

In general, if you want to see "s, say \de \quotation{an "umlaut}
