This option is not the feature you're looking for. The "Auto Insert 
Braces" option is in the Code Completion section, and that's where it 
applies. So for example, if you complete widget->resize, it will 
automatically insert the round opening bracket '(', since it's a 
function call.

I just realized we should call them brackets and not braces, since 
braces are only { and }, and we never automatically insert those.

In any case, the feature of automatically inserting matching brackets 
(and quotation marks) is one I'd really like to have as well, and would 
certainly be nice to add to a future version of Qt Creator.
