Weird overwriting behavior within [square brackets]

Completed

Sorry — I wasn't using 46 after all on this machine, but 45 (I had upgraded a different Mac). After I updated to 46, this behavior stopped. My apologies.

 

I'm using 46. When I try to enter a Markdown link or image link by hand, I type the opening square bracket [ and the it inserts the closing square bracket ] automatically — as I want.

However, when I then start typing inside the square bracket, I can only type one character at a time — the next character overwrites the first, etc., so there is only ever one character between the brackets (the most recently typed one).

I can reproduce this consistently, but I'm not sure how to capture it. 

FWIW, it looks like it truly overwrites, because when I type a couple words and then delete the closing bracket, there is only one character there (so it isn't just a display problem).

This doesn't happen within parentheses ( ), braces { } or angle brackets < >, though they also autocomplete (behavior I do want).

  Just to make sure I am not misunderstanding -- as of build 46, all is well, right?

   

  There was an autocomplete issue, but it should be fixed by now.

  No need for apologies.  Didn't want to ignore an active bug!

   

  Thanks!!
