I'm using Emacs on Macintosh Catalina from emacsformacosx.com. I'm comparing three versions: 24.5, 25.3, 26.3. Of these, 24.3 works fine, 25.3 has a problem with parenthesis highlighting, and installing ergoemacs on 26.3 apparently causes Emacs to infinite loop. So I'm describing 25.3 here.
Although I'm primarily using Macintosh Catalina here, I have also seen the same parenthesis problem on Ubuntu 18.04, so I think the problem isn't just my build.
I installed ergoemacs from Elpa, 5.16.10.12. After installing, it is described like this: "ergoemacs-mode is an available obsolete package". Nevertheless it seems to work.
If I edit a C file and start typing code, when I close a parenthesis the corresponding opening parenthesis is briefly highlighted. If I wait until the highlighting disappears and then type a character it's fine. But if I type another character while the highlighting is present, it de-highlights the opening parenthesis but does not insert the character.
If I use 25.3 without ergoemacs, it works fine. While the parenthesis is highlighted, the next character is inserted as I'd expect.
