How to turn off 'dead' single and double quotation keys in Pycharm

I am having some trouble with Pycharm, when I press the single quote key, on the first press, nothing happens, on the second press Pycharm writes two single quotations. On the third press, nothing happens, on the fourth press, voila! two more single quotes. Double quotes exhibit the same behavior.

This makes typing triple-quotes for strings in Python quite maddening. I would like to get one character for one key press... like every other key on this keyboard.

This is only happening in Pycharm Community Edition and not any other text-editing software on this Windows machine.

I have played with every relevant looking setting in Pycharm's settings without success.

For future reference:

Check if the Windows language setting is set to US Intl Keyboard. If it is, switch to a US keyboard (may have to add keyboard if necessary). It should be fine then. No idea why that's the case as well.
