Typing the "greater than" sign inside the already closed HTML tag auto-inserts another closing tag?

Ahu Lee

I’m using the version 7.5.8 and I noticed that it auto-closes the already closed tag if I type the > sign in between.

E.g., if inside the body tag I type ul>(attempting to use the Emmet’s syntax ul>li) I’ll get this:

<body>

ul></body>

</body>

How do I prevent this annoying behavior?

Thank you very much!

Disabling html/xml close tag auto-insert in Preferences > Auto-Competition seems to be the only option that “solves” it.

Thanks everyone for your help!
