OK, I bet I know what's happening. It has to do with typing
style. Once again, I find that I am in the minority.
Try this: in the Jess editor, type the two characters '(' and
')'. You'll see that you end up with just "()", despite the
autocompletion. Same with the double quotes. Type two double quotes in
a row, you end up with two, even though you also had two as soon as
you typed the first one. All of this behavior is deliberately coded in
there, and it's enough to compensate for any extra parens or quotes I
ever type.
If you type '(', 'f', 'o', 'o', ')', though, you end up with
"(foo))". I never do this; my brain is trained to expect the
auto-paren-insertion that so many editors do.
But I just went and fiddled around in the Java editor, and if you type
'(', 'f', 'o', 'o', ')', that last parenthesis actually steps over the
one that was inserted when you typed the open parenthesis. This is
different from what the Jess editor does. That must be what you're
expecting, yes? I can fix the JessDE to do the same thing.
