Whenever I type a (, [, or {, Notepad++ completes it with the corresponding closing bracket. I find this 'feature' annoying and would like to disable it. It doesn't seem to be listed in the Preferences dialog and a search of the online documentation didn't yield any useful result. Does anybody here know where the option for this is hidden? I'm currently using Notepad++ 5.0.3.

Actually in my case, the option was already unchecked. When I tried checking it, my brackets got closed twice, like so: when I typed ( npp filled in with )). Maybe some odd bug.Now I've uninstalled and reinstalled npp, and the problem is gone. Still I'll mark this as answer for posterity's sake. :)

Actually it's more probable it's turned on in the ConvertExt plugin : Plugins->ConvertExt->Options Tab Notepad++: uncheck brackets autocompletion

ConvertExt plugin was it.
