Deleting JSX tag name and then typing a different tag name doesn't update closing tag

[jedwards1211]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

• VSCode Version: 1.99.3 (Universal)
• OS Version: Darwin x64 24.3.0

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Go to the end of the name of an opening JSX/TSX tag
2. Backspace to delete the name
3. Type the new name
4. The closing tag should also be updated but it remains blank

This is really annoying and I'm confused why I can't find any other issue reports about it. Maybe a lot of people select the tag name before typing over it, but that workaround is no good for Vim users (for whom it's most efficient to cw at the start of the tag, which deletes it and goes into insert mode, and then type the new tag name).

VSCode could make this work even though the syntax temporarily becomes invalid when the tag name has been deleted; all it would take is remembering the opening/closing tag name positions when all characters in the tag name get deleted, and keeping that in memory until the next document edit.

Thanks for creating this issue! It looks like you may be using an old version of VS Code, the latest stable release is 1.99.3. Please try upgrading to the latest version and checking whether this issue remains.

Happy Coding!

Where is the code of conduct in ur work, except for MIT?

I'm confused what you mean, do you mean in my own repos? I've never gotten around to putting one in my own repos

I think I can get in the habit of inserting the new name and deleting the old one, which is acceptable enough. But I'd be willing to figure out how to fix this is a PR would be accepted

I meant that if MIT doesn't have their licensing up then r u really covered through UR MIT licensing? Policies is what I was looking into..
