Visual Studio IDE 2022 (C#) - Auto-complete of parentheses is broken

Question

I'm using Visual Studio IDE 2022, Parentheses completion is not working correctly. For example, I want to write:

Foo(Boo());

but result is:

Foo(Boo(); - one brace is missing.

I have checked and unchecked "Automatic brace completion" but it does not help.

By the way VSCode does this job correctly:

Shouldn’t it not work if there are missing brackets? Why is it missing after selecting automatic completion of parentheses? Did you try to reset vs or restart vs? – Odontoid

yes, I did it but it did not helped – Discomposure

Please provide a minimal reproducible example here. What is Boo()? – Odontoid

I could not reproduce your problem. Have you installed some smart reminder extensions? – Odontoid

@JialeXue-MSFT It does not depends on extensions. Now I have check on other computer where no extensions are installed, only Visual studio 2019. seems it is an old problem – Discomposure

Answer 1

This extension fixes the problem:

Auto Close & Surround Punctuations

To avoid errors, be sure to disable the default behavior of Visual Studio. Go to "Menu > Tools > Options", find these options and uncheck the box:

"Automatic brace completion"

and

"Automatically surround selection when typing quotes or brackets"

Seems it is an old problem because the same problem was with C++. I think for C++ the problem was solved but C# was forgotten.
