  1. Add a text block with this text 
I'v'e' 'b'e'en'
  1. Select these letter 'v'e' 'b'e'en' and apply Bold style

Is this an expected behaviour or not ?

After a bit of digging, I am unsure if this is a bug or an expected behaviour. The content is filtered through wptexturize which converts ' (ASCII 39) to open and closed apostrophes based on regex. So the apostrophes do appear correctly when the text is bold. Now, why it is not being done when the content is not between tags like <strong> is another issue.
