How can I stop the auto closing?

Every time when I want a bracket, the auto-closing mechanic always give me an extra right bracket. If I type right bracket, nothing happens because it thinks you forgot that feature and meant to re-type that very bracket. Then why I would want to keep that feature on? When I delete the left bracket, the right one also disappears. It definitely causes more trouble than convenience, so annoying.

Even worse, it auto-closes the comment section. For Python, every time I type 3 ' symbols, I get 6. And I have to move the cursor to the end, delete the 3 extra symbols, and do all the same steps for closing the comment section at the end.

If I'm not to write documentation, I couldn't think of a single use case that you setup a comment area BEFORE having something to put into. Especially for debugging.

To turn it off, I tried the gear icon, which can only change styles. I didn't find anything in the drop-down menu. I didn't find a related topic telling how to turn it off. It really ruins the experience.

Such type of features always want to guess what people want, and always fail on doing it. Why make it default?

Am I missing some control panel things or could you provide us options to leave it on or not?
