Description

Please watch the screencast: Screencast

As you can see, the behavior is very strange. I would state that the problem is that the extension closes tags that are already closed and does that in an undetermined time period. Also it tries to close the tag even though I don't put the closing bracket > there.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the extension's logic for auto closing tags, particularly the case when a tag is already closed. Look at the event listener for typing '>' and the regex or conditions used to determine if a closing tag should be inserted.
