auto surround selected word with quotes stopped working for php

[ChazyTheBest]

• VSCode Version: 1.1.1
• OS Version: Manjaro 16.06 (rc1)

I don't know what happened but yesterday I was writing some code and when I selected a word and pressed ' the word was quoted, now the word is replaced by one ' instead.

Brackets are still auto closing though...

If I change the language mode from php to another, like c++, then it'll work but if I change it back it won't...

If I rename my settings file (the one inside .vscode) and I restart vscode then it'll work, but if I restart again it won't. Strange behavior... I can reproduce this (renaming and restarting).

These are my settings:

{
    "editor.detectIndentation": false,
    "editor.wrappingColumn": -1,
    "editor.renderWhitespace": true,
    "emmet.triggerExpansionOnTab": false,
    "css.lint.compatibleVendorPrefixes": "warning",
    "css.lint.duplicateProperties": "warning",
    "css.lint.universalSelector": "warning",
    "css.lint.zeroUnits": "warning"
}

@ChazyTheBest Did you install any PHP related extensions?
You can try to run VS Code without extensions with code --disable-extensions

Surrounding with quotes is disabled in PHP comments and strings. Is that maybe what you see?

The only feature that doesn't come built-in and that I need is ftp on save, so I have ftp-sync installed, and nothing more than I'm aware of.

I'm not sure that feature is disabled for comments and strings for php at all, I can surround any selected text in php code, when VS Code wants to ofc.

Do you need visual proof? I could make a video or gif, I can surround any selected text with quotes.

But the problem still remains, when I close and open VS Code again the feature stops working completely for php.

Well, the truth is that it's not the next time I open VS Code and also does not involve the settings. I've just enabled my settings (by renaming the file) and restarted, and it worked then I restarted again and it was still working but the third time it stopped working. Could it be something wrong with my OS or configs? (Not a VS Code problem?).

It's a very strange behavior...

A screenshot or animated gif would would be great. I have no clue so far what it could be. I tried to reproduce what you are seeing, but for me surrounding with quotes works for me in PHP.

[ChazyTheBest]

I also have no clue why is it acting like that. It's like "now I want to work, but the next time I start... who knows"? :P

I'm creating the gif file.

EDIT: convert is taking a filetime to reduce the filesize...

The following gif demonstrates that, sometimes, autoclosing quotes doesn't work for PHP. I also noticed that it became less frequent, only 1 out of 10 times it fails. Yesterday was just the opposite...

@ChazyTheBest Thanks a lot, now I see it too.

The problem was the merging of the settings in php.configuration.ts and the settings is code.
It was a timing issue, depending on what came first, the results from the file or from the extension.

You're welcome, I'm glad I could help.
