Quotation marks are all left

Questions
1

when i type quotation marks (" "), they both get converted to the left variant in the document in every language. to get the right variant, i need to paste the left one manually (for some reason).

BUT, the weirder part is, that is not the case in this document. if this means literally anything, i am on a linux pc, and i never encountered this issue on windows.

in summary, if i make changes to this function directly, the quotes look normal, otherwise (e.g. as an argument) - both quotes are left.

#let reftitle = (
  proph,
  work,
  name: "",
  group: "",
  year: 2026,
) => {
  set align(center)
  set par(justify: false, leading: 1.5em - 0.75em)
  set text(font: "Times New Roman")
  grid(
    rows: (40%, 20%),
    [
      "RIGHT HERE IT WORKS NORMALLY"
    ],
    [ $work$ ],
    grid(
      columns: (1fr, 1fr),
      align(left)[Проверил:\ $proph$], align(right)[Выполнил:\ Студент $group$\ $name$],
    ),
    align(bottom)[Москва, $year$],
  )
}

Hello @keke_IRL,

You seem to be inserting content in math mode in an unintended way, i.e. with $ ... $.

You are in effect doing this:

// Text
"Hello World"

// Math
#let x = ["Hello World"]
$#x$

For an explanation of the effect of this, you can refer to How to insert quotation marks in math mode? - #2 by quachpas for a full example on how quotes are interpreted in math mode.

Example for the English language: 
"This is a quote".

#quote($a + h$) // quote equation

$#["a + b"]$ // doesn't work

$#"a + b"$ // string variable (no quotes)

$#quote[a + b]$ // quote content in math

$#quote($a + b$)$ // quote math in math

To fix this, you should replace every occurence of $ ... $ with # ... .

Your corrected code: 
#let reftitle = (
  proph,
  work,
  name: "",
  group: "",
  year: 2026,
) => {
  set align(center)
  set par(justify: false, leading: 1.5em - 0.75em)
  set text(font: "Times New Roman")
  grid(
    rows: (40%, 20%),
    [
      "RIGHT HERE IT WORKS NORMALLY"
    ],
    [ #work ],
    grid(
      columns: (1fr, 1fr),
      align(left)[Проверил:\ #proph], align(right)[Выполнил:\ Студент #group\ #name],
    ),
    align(bottom)[Москва, #year],
  )
}

#reftitle(["Test"], ["Hello There"])
