This option was there before the automatic matching of brackets was 
added, which is essentially a different feature from automatically 
inserting them when completing. Since they are so closely related, 
however, it would make sense to have a single setting that affects both.

I've created the following issue for you:

Hopefully this problem no longer occurs with a more recent snapshot. 
Otherwise, we could use a way to reproduce this.

Sounds like an issue in Qt, however I can't help you with it. If you see 
it again, you may want to try making a screen shot and reporting it to 
the Qt bug tracker.
