when I type a single quote "'" in bash xterm or lxterminal nothing shows.
May it happen that you have dead keys in your keyboard configuration to type characters with accents? I have never used this feature, so my guess may be wrong. What happens if you type single quote twice "''"? What happens if it is followed by a letter "'a"?
cat /etc/default/keyboard
What is reported by "xev" in response to the "'" key?
