Auto completing quotation mark is not working when using CW code snippet

[vsfeedback]

If you use the CW code snippet for Console.WriteLine() then you can't auto complete the quoatation mark for the literal string.

If you instead manually type in Console, dot, WriteLine() and type the first quotation mark, then it gets auto completed.

As I recall it, this bug did not exist in Visual Studio 2013 nor in Visual Studio 2015.

I expect the bug did exist in at least VS2015.

Autocompleting braces/quote/etc only works if:

1. The insertion of the first quote is the last non-whitespace thing on the line, OR
2. All other things after it on the line are closing quotes/parens/braces that were inserted by the feature and are currently being tracked (for tab to pass through) for example.

There is nothing that ties the snippet insertion with the feature, so the mere fact that the snippet has more characters after the cursor is what triggers this.

I can confirm that it does exist in Visual Studio 2015, Update 3.

I am also experiencing this problem when using the CW code snippet as well. I am currently using Visual Studio Community 2019, Version 16.7.3

For what it's worth, it works in VS Code (version 1.49.0).

(Tested and still not working in Visual Studio Community 2019, version 16.7.4.)
