left/right double quotes at beginning of quoted text

[protogeezer]

Here is a pdf and source tex for a test file I'm using to experiment with single/double column formatting. In several locations, the opening quotes are a left/right combination (69). I had to change the .tex suffix to .txt to get it to upload.
luaquotes.pdf
luaquotes.txt

Thanks for the issue! I think the problem is that the package requires you type quotes normally not LaTeXly
So, for example, you write ''loophole'' and the package gets confused by the double single quote ligature and produces the left right.

So to fix it, just write "loophole" using the normal double quotation mark keys, as in standard text.

I could try writing code to take in people who type with TeX ligatures but the purpose of the package is to allow (for those who like it) naturalistic typing with smart quotes
