Description

The source editor automatically closes the outer nested bracket pair when trying to close an inner bracket pair.

To Reproduce

  1. Type "useEffect(("
  2. Notice it closes the inner bracket like this useEffect((|)
  3. Try to close the inner bracket pair by pressing ")"
  4. It thinks you are trying to close the outer bracket pair and replaces the outer closing bracket becoming useEffect(()| placing the cursor at the end.

Expected Behavior

We should recognize we are in a unclosed bracket pair which is inside a closed bracket pair. instead of closing, add a closing bracket instead of replacing the outer bracket pair.

Screenshots

Doesn't work as expected:
