Summary:
This is a duplicate of radar #33876309

When moving the caret next to a brace, the matching brace will be highlighted, if present. There should be an option to disable that behavioir. In Xcode 8, there was a hidden preference you could set to disable it:

defaults write com.apple.dt.xcode DVTTextShowMatchingBrace -bool NO

It doesnt work in Xcode 9.


Steps to Reproduce:
1- Open file in Xcode.
2- Write two matching braces: ()
3- Move the caret and see the braces being highlighted

Expected Results:
There should be a way to disable that behaviour.

Actual Results:
There is no way to disable that behaviour.

Version:
9
