Description velinath 2014-10-30 19:59:00 UTC 
When trying to close an HTML tag, the autocomplete has the potential to insert an extra closing tag inside the typed text.

Basically, if you type out "</div>", and then press Enter, the expected behaviour would be for the closing tag to show up and then a newline.

Instead, (as shown in screencast here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=te95MKBz3uU), the autocompleter inserts its own </div> tag inside the one that was just typed out. This is not a problem with typing too fast; although I was typing fairly quickly in the video, I've verified the bug still exists after waiting up to 5 seconds after typing the close angle bracket before hitting Enter.

Let me know if I can provide any more details.

Hi,
I am sorry I get to your report so late. Can you still reproduce this? What is your netbeans version? Can you describe in more detail steps how to reproduce this. Since I don't know how.

Thanks

Hi Milutin - 

I have changed computers at work since this issue was created, and am unable to reproduce in 8.1 beta which I am using now. I unfortunately can't speak to more than that
