Description Jiri Prox 2008-10-10 14:37:28 UTC 
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 20081009092807)
Java: 1.6.0_10-rc2; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.0-b15
System: Windows Vista version 6.0 running on x86; Cp1252; en_US (nb)

The option 'Insert closing bracket automatically' is in section 'Code completino' althoug it has no effect on inserting
closing bracked by code completion. It also controls inserting other pair chars as ' and ", not only brackets
Comment 1 Vitezslav Stejskal 2008-10-10 15:04:46 UTC 
By 'Code completion' users typically refer to any feature that somehow completes code when they type it. This is
somewhat wider definition that what we (developers) usually mean by code completion. From this point of view I don't see
any problem with have the checkbox where it is now. It's inaccurate label is a different story. Maybe we could call it
'Insert pair character automatically' or just 'Complete pair characters'. Just some ideas...
Comment 2 Jiri Prox 2008-10-10 15:07:44 UTC 
I agree the location is correct.
Comment 3 Petr Dvorak 2009-07-01 11:51:43 UTC 
... changed the summary to something more descriptive...

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
