Netbeans disabling code completion in HTML for quote marks

Question

In the Netbeans (v 7.01) code complete options I have disabled:

All Languages -> Insert Closing Brackets Automatically
Html -> Equals sign (=) Keypress After Attribute Name Autocompletes Quote Set
Html -> Quote mark (") Keypress After Attribute Name Autocompletes Closing Quote

and yet if I type out the following html line:

<div class = "">

Netbeans corrects this to:

<div class = """>

So in other words, the IDE adds in an extra quote mark. The problem doesn't seem to happen in PHP scripts, only HTML. But I'm finding it extremely infuriating and I can't figure out how to stop it!

Anyone have any idea what's going on?

What is your netbeans version ? This was a bug but fixed > 6.9.1 — bilash.saha
was it? I have version 7.0.1 but the problem is still occuring — Spoonface
See same question here in netbeans blog forums.netbeans.org/ptopic32599.html with no answers !!! — bilash.saha
hmm that's from a while ago too, maybe it's a bug. A terribly annoying one — Spoonface
looks like the netbeans link above may have been mis-pasted, it's nothing to do with code completion... — StackExchange What The Heck
