Description

  • VS Code Version: 1.54.3
  • OS Version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.19042

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Write a commit message
  2. Select a word, type `

Expected: the word is surrounded by ` like in VS Code v1.44.2.

Since 1.45, this doesn't happen anymore, instead the word is replaced by `. It's the same with auto-closing.

This was very useful to type markdown-like commit messages. If this is not a bug/intended, is there a way to reenable this behavior?

v1.44.2 : recording (3)

v1.54.3 (1.51.1 for the capture but it's the same since 1.45) : recording (4)

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the configuration of the commit message input box in the Git extension. Check for any settings that may have changed regarding auto closing brackets or quotes. Look at the source code changes between versions 1.44 and 1.45 for the Git extension.
