Entering quotes is broken - cannot turn off autocompletion of strings #544

Description

This is on the editor component "generic text editor" and its behavior when entering quotes.

When I enter " I get "".

In the version distributed with eclipse 4.16 there still was an option to turn off autocompletion of strings (but the option had no effect). After updating to eclipse 4.19 even the option to turn this off seems to be gone.

So for typing ONE quote you now need THREE keystrokes on a Mac: Type a quote, get two, move cursor to the right and delete-left. Or type a quote, get two, do a delete right, which is fn-delete.

It would be great if you could (re)provide an option for this "buy one get one free" behavior for quotes. If you are used to getting just what yo ordered from an eidtor for 20+ years of programming it is pretty annoying if all of a suddent the behavior changes and there is no option to adjust.

Thanx for listening.
