Using x/X on double-quotes marks not working as expected

[Epidiah]

I'm using evil, smartparens and evil-cleverparens. When I invoke evil-cp-delete-char-or-splice via the x key on a single character, most of the time everything works as I expect. Parentheses, brackets, etc. are deleted along with their pair, and all other characters are deleted alone. However, double-quotes behave a bit differently. If it is the double-quote at the beginning of the string, x just doesn't delete anything, leaving the quotes on both sides of the string intact. If it's the quote at the end of the string, x deletes the ending quote, but not the beginning one. The big problem is, if these double-quotes are inside a comment it locks Emacs up and, if I don't kill the process, it tends to use up resources until my whole computer locks up.
