Closing parenthesis keeps repeating

[bmewburn]

Issue Type: Bug

1. Type a (. Watch it auto close.
2. Type a ). The cursor skips over the existing ).
3. Move cursor back in between the parentheses.
4. Type a ) again. The ) gets repeated.

I'm sure the behaviour on previous vscode versions was to always skip over the existing parenthesis. I've tried with editor.autoClosingBrackets languageDefined and always. This is in typescript but I see it in other languages too.
