[Geany-devel] Autoclose mismatches

[Jonathan Daily]

I have noticed a similar issue that crops up when coding in several
languages. I will start a function call that uses a second function as
an input, and autoclose will take the first ')' as the close for the
nested function call. Notepad++ has a preferences option to autoclose
all brackets/quotes even if matched, and this is something that seems
useful to me for geany.
