Cursor moves outside endqoute

[abdnafees]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: 1.63.2
• OS Version: Windows 10 Pro 21H2 19044.1415

Whenever I type double quotes, the cursor moves outside to the right of the end quote. It is extremely annoying. I cannot find an appropriate setting to control this behaviour either. Is there a setting to control the cursor behaviour when typing quotes?
Steps to Reproduce:

1. Type single or double quotes in an HTML or JS file.
2. You will notice the cursor moving after the end quote before you being to type any value.

I can't reproduce this on W11, Insiders or Stable html or js files. Try running the Developer: Toggle Keyboard Shortcuts Troubleshooting and report what is output when you type a " and it jumps beyond the closing ".

@abdnafees Does this reproduce when disabling all extensions? Are you using a US keyboard layout? Does this reproduce in any file type?

This happens for me as well, here are the troubleshooting logs for keyboard shortcuts:

This is in a .vue file with the Volar extension installed.

May be related to this issue: vuejs/language-tools#840 - they think it's a VSCode issue.

Indeed, this looks to be caused by html.autoCreateQuotes. To reproduce, open a HTML file and type character-by-character (without looking at the screen):

• <div class="asd">
• observe that you end up with
• <div class=""asd"></div>

I could not reproduce in 1.63.2, so it looks to be a recent change that causes this.

[aeschli]

The original issue is reported against 1.63.2 but html.autoCreateQuotes got added in 1.64. Also it's also only for html, not js.

Let's create a different issue for html.autoCreateQuotes: #140698

[aeschli]

@abdnafees We still need more additional information from you.
Can you confirm you are on 1.63 and you see the issue in both HTML and JS.
Can you add a screencast?

[thiagoschreck]

I am also having this issue. Whenever I input a quotation mark, the end quote is automatically written as expected, but the cursor goes after it instead of staying inside both quotation marks.

@thiagoschreck Please create a new issue, as in this particular case we were surprised that the OP reported the issue against 1.63.2, which did not yet enable the html.autoCreateQuotes setting so we were wondering if it might be something else.

I'm sorry, I've been testing again and now I am noticing that, as you mentioned, this is happening because of the html.autoCreateQuotes. So I've got nothing new to report as this ticket has already been opened.
