Description
This is unexpected behaviour for me. In the 'Adv. Editor' section, there are options that would more clearly relate to the autocompleting of braces, which I have disabled all of:
It's particularly annoying that this option controls brace completion, because it causes inconsistent brace autocompletion. E.g. \log{\ doesn't have its closing brace added, but \text{\ does.
My suggestion is to remove the brace completion aspect of this option

Research direction
Review the Adv. Editor settings and reproduce the reported behavior with brace-completion options disabled and “Complete selected text when non-word character is pressed” enabled. Compare the \log{\ and \text{\ cases, then trace the editor’s handling of non-word characters; done means that this option no longer controls brace completion and the inconsistent behavior is resolved.
