Hi Bruce,
I understand your explanation if you were simply typing the apostrophe and
comma as normal characters, but shouldn't exact translation take care of
that? The word "this" is not coded with exact translation, only the TN
symbol characters. .

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.
