wptexturise uses the wrong curly quote after a closing link tag

[andfinally]

When an English possessive 's comes immediately after a closing link tag, wptexturise changes it to the wrong kind of curly quote mark.

To reproduce:

• Enter some text with a link followed by an 's in your post content, for example

<a href="http://bbc.co.uk/news">BBC</a>'s approach

• View the post in the front end.

What I expect

The filter replaces the straight single quote mark with a right curly apostrophe ’

What I see instead

The filter replaces the quote mark with a left curly apostrophe ‘

Wrong curly apostrophe on the front end

In case useful to anybody, I've added this filter to my theme as a temporary fix:

<?php
function fix_left_single_quotes( $content ) {
        $content= str_replace(['</a>&#8216;'], ['</a>&#8217;'], $content );

        return $content;
}

add_filter( 'the_content', 'fix_left_single_quotes', 11 );

This happens for all tags.
