Description

Mainly opening this issue so people can find it before reporting it themselves and seeing the work around given the new release today.
You can disable this behavior by setting the following setting

"rust-analyzer.typing.excludeChars": "<|"

(Note < is a default exclusion already)

So the issue is it inserts a second | to complete the closure param list, but while doing so it also moves the cursor one to the right outside of the param list!

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing typing | in a Rust expression position with rust-analyzer, comparing the default behavior with rust-analyzer.typing.excludeChars set to |. Done means the closure parameter list is completed without moving the cursor outside it.
