No closing parenthesis when starting anonymous function shorthand

[mtruyens]

Assume you have written
( )
and your cursor is between the two parentheses.
Now, when you try to insert an anonymous function shortcut — i.e. #( ... ) — no closing parenthesis is inserted when you have typed in the #(
As a result, at that point, you end up with an unbalanced expression:
(#()

Curiously, this bug does not show up when the outer parentheses are square brackets.

I just tried to replicate this and can't. What v of IntelliJ and Cursive are you using?

Thanks for the quick check! I just noticed it only happens when structural editing is OFF. (Nevertheless, it seems like a bug to me even when structural editing is off.)

Thanks for clarifying, you are correct - I can reproduce this with structural editing turned off.
Makes me wonder if the default behaviour when SE = off should be to not even create a closing ) when one enters (?

Also, I found a related issue: #1101

I think the closing parentheses should effectively be added. In other programming languages, where no structural editing exists, the same closing-behaviour for parentheses exists...
