Underscores being paired in the LaTeX environment when following a curly brace

Bug graveyard
1

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create the following LaTeX block:
    $$
    {a}
    $$

  2. Observe that if you type an underscore after the curly bracket, it gets auto-paired as the following:
    $$
    {a}__
    $$

  3. Observe that if you were to not have curly braces preceding the underscore that it wont be paired:
    $$
    a_
    $$

Expected result

I expect that when in the LaTeX editing environment, that underscores wont be paired when writing math. It gets annoying to have to delete the duplicate underscore for the specific circumstance of it following a curly brace.

Actual result

The underscore gets paired.

Check to make sure you have Auto pair markdown syntax toggled off in the editor tab of the settings.

If there isn’t a fr for this, open one.

The thing is is that it shouldn’t be pairing underscores in the latex environment, i don’t think, as it’s very particular about when it pairs them: It only pairs them if they directly follow a curly brace.
