Description _ gtzabari 2004-02-04 15:32:53 UTC 
Currently when you position the caret to the
right of a closing-bracket it'll highlight the
openning-bracket that matches it. Unfortunately it
is never clear where the matcher is refering to
the closing-bracket to the left or right of the
caret and the entire ordeal is confusing.

   I suggest we highlight *both* brackets. For an
example of how this would work, see Visual .NET
C++'s editor.

I agree, besides this we can also think about showing a scope of the
surrounded code block on side bar as well.
Comment 2 Roman Strobl 2005-01-21 12:18:26 UTC 
Obsolete target milestone, changed to TBD. Please re-evaluate.
Comment 3 Miloslav Metelka 2015-10-15 13:44:37 UTC 
Already fixed.
