Description

I'm not really sure where to report the issue. But it looks like to me at least, the cmp feature's causing the problem(or maybe a little bit from pairs plugin and a little bit from cmp). Basically, what I'm doing in the video is that

• type double quote
• type a couple of chars
• wait for cmp list to show up
• (should close matching double quote) -> X

Whenever I tried to close the matching single/double quote, the cursor would just move next to a single ghost char.

• To be able to close the matching quote, I need to type in all ghost text and finally the quote (or simply hitting would do the job which is not too convenient I suppose)
• This is something I found along the way to fixing the issue. If I type comma(,) while trying to fill all the ghost text to close the double quote, ghost text seems to be replaced with empty spaces.

I've used, enabled, disabled mini.pair and nvim-autopairs.

Steps to reproduce

using the config above, and following the video looks suffice

Expected behavior

• ghost text should not ignore single/double quotes (not tried with paren, brackets)
• when ghost text disappears, it should not leave empty spaces?

Actual behavior

• not getting the auto pair feature smoothly
• see some a bunch of empty spaces

-- from
vim.opt.virtualedit = "all"

-- to
vim.opt.virtualedit = "block"

I don't know why I looked at vim options but anyway I was able to fix the issue by changing virtualedit option like above.
