Because DBT sees the apostrophe before this and assumes it must be part of
a word, not the whole word this. Since you can't use "this" as part of the
word, it contracts as you've seen it.

I discovered something puzzling today. Using the English de BANA Textbook template. I have a transcriber note
that starts with the word "this". If I use the transcriber note style, it translates correctly with
the 6 3 symbol, the capital sign and the th sign for the word this. However, in this case, the TN doesn't end
until after a table key, so I used the Exact Translation for the comma and apostrophe of the TN symbol, then
the capitalized word This. . When I do that, DBT insists on only contracting the "th" in this. My
solution was to include a comma and question mark as exact translation which created the capital
"th".
Why might this be happening?
