Entering } when cursor is left of a } shouldn't overwrite it

Start with this:

{"SyntaxImag1", SyntaxImag("1i")},

Now, SyntaxImag changes from type SyntaxImag string to type SyntaxImag struct { Text string }, so you must update the code to this:

{"SyntaxImag1", &SyntaxImag{Text: "1i"}},

So, you insert the & and replace the ( with a {Text: . Now you have:

{"SyntaxImag1", &SyntaxImag{Text: "1i")},

Finally, you go to replace the ) with }, but you end up with:

{"SyntaxImag1", &SyntaxImag{Text: "1i"}, // Missing the outer }, because inserting the inner } overwrote the outer }

which is unexpected and invalid syntax.

This is not Go specific. I see this happening on ts files as well
