Perl 'if' and 'while' statements disappearing

[LAHavens]

Short Summary

When coding, when I try to start and 'if' or 'while' statement, no matter what character I type following the 'if' or 'while', the 'if' or 'while' word disappears and my cursor goes down multiple lines. This doesn't happen with 'unless' or 'elsif' statements or in my python codes.

Steps to Reproduce

1.) Create perl script
2.) Type an if() or while() loop

Expected results

I would be able to type and keep and if or while loop

Actual results

The 'if' and 'while' disappear

error:
In notification tab we get: insertion of snipper 'if' suppressed: not t start of line but that is a blatant lie. i am indeed at the start of a line...and regardless, that shouldn't fail. Nothing comes up in the logs.

Sounds like some broken/maimed snippets in your toolbox maybe? Try turning off Edit >Preferences > Editor > Smart Editing > Auto-Abbreviations: disable

[LAHavens]

That worked!! Thank you so much.

No worries. If you want to continue using WORKING auto abbrevs you can find the broken snippets in your toolbox > Abbreviations > Perl

I'd be interested to know if they are default and broken in the release or if you had modified them. I'd obviously want to fix them if it was the former :)

[LAHavens]

I didn't knowingly modify them on my end (but, honestly, anything is possible). I just downloaded the Mac version and noticed the disappearing act. I don't have this problem on my other computer. Should I reopen the issue?
