So I've been working with SQL for a long long time, and I have noticed this little feature of the editor being around for a long long time too (although not quite as long). But today, I am getting absolutely horrendously mad at the fact that SSMS sometimes ignores characters you type when those characters are normally part of a matched pair.
For example,
- go into SSMS and type select foo()
- put the cursor after the opening parenthesis
- type a closing parenthesis... NO! It doesn't get typed!
Today, for some reason, I am finding this unbearable. Do want I want, don't tell me what I want to do! Gaaaagh!
I'm not sure if this is part of SSMS, or part of an addin. I have the SSMS tools pack and SQL Prompt, both of which seem like they could be doing this. I vaguely remember seeing something about "prevent accidental closing (something)" at some point, but 20 minutes of searching through the menus in SSMS leaves me without progress.
Can anyone save me? I might have to go home from work and have a lie down if I can't turn off this "feature".

Must be an addin my SSMS 2008/2012 let's me type ok.
same here I'm using SSMS Tools in 2008 and SSMSBoost on the SSMS 2012 both allow me to do what I want.
Though I do sometimes HATE autocomplete especially when it auto completes with a reserved word thats similar to afield/table name.
