can't disable auto-close settings

[Redtopia]

I'm having problems in the editor with auto closing of certain
elements. In my auto close preferences, everything is turned off
except for:

Auto close tags
Auto insert a closing tag
Use smart indenting

Even with these settings, the editor auto closes the following
characters.

(
{
"
'
#

Mostly, however, I'm having problems pasting... try pasting the
following text into a blank line in the editor:

"#ctItems#"
'#ctItems#'
#ctItems#
(#ctItems#)

You'll see that an extra close character is output. The feature
doesn't check to see that a beginning character is already in place.

Any workarounds?

I've also had issues with auto close. I can't get mine to stop auto
closing ' and (. It bugs the heck out of me when writing JavaScript.
I've disabled just about everything but it never seems to help.

Yeah, it's really annoying. Happens inside both cfscript and regular
script tags regardless of what settings you have.

With JS you can avoid it with the <!-- ... // --> syntax, ie:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
...
// -->
</script>

Take a look at TIcket #118 and see if that sounds like the issue you are having?

I run into this all the time and reading the ticket it does sound like
a big issue for others as well...

I don't mind it unless I am copying/pasting, but that side effect is a bug in my opinion.

After reading TIcket #118, it definitely seems to be related. However,
it's not isolated to <cfscript> code. I have the problem everywhere in
the editor, and though I've gotten used to it, it really bums me out.
I just watched a video demo of some guy writing code and I became
envious because I realized how much time I spend deleting unwanted
characters that the editor thinks I want. I'm glad that I'm not the
only one suffering... after reading the ticket, I see that there are
others who really want this fixed. I would like to see this fixed
before any new features are added.

I've updated the ticket to reflect it happens outside of cfscript as well!

Please include the copy/paste issue somewhere.  I want the auto-close feature.  I don't want the duplication that happens during copy/paste.
