When typing a 2nd single quote, the quote gets doubled

[elgwiedo]

• VSCode Version: Code 1.4.0 (6276dcb, 2016-08-04T16:45:31.680Z)
• OS Version: Windows_NT ia32 6.1.7601

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Write a function that has an object as argument (function (myobject) .... )
2. Now you decide to pass a string as a parameter. Type a first single quote to define the argument that is passed as string (function (**'**myobject) ... )
3. Type the second quote to close the string. (function ('myobject**') ... )
   Now you get (function ('myobject''**) ... )

@alexandrudima assigning to you. If this is something JS/TS can control please assign back to me.

Probably related to #8539 and/or #8850.

In addition to the specific bug OP noted, when you delete the first one, both gets deleted. This is quite annoying :D See gif:

It shares the same story as #13523 , we don't do any bracket matching check while typing as the cost is pretty high.

From @octref Don't provide closing paren if there are unmatched closed parens

Steps to Reproduce:

Type ( before ), end up with ())
Type { before }, end up with {}}

The root cause for this issue is our auto closing feature doesn't take language semantics into account. Let's track this issue in #6841 which is the earliest issue. Thanks for your feedback!
