IDEA-30299 ctrl-backspace: Idea does not delete auto-generated braces

Issue is visible to: All Users

This annoyance happens to me every now and then:
I use automatic completion after new:
new Foo(<caret here>)
Oops, I do not really want that class, so I hit Ctrl-Backspace twice to delete it. This is what is left:
new )

Idea should delete the ')' !
Note that it does delete the ')' when I use backspace to delete the '(', but fails with ctrl-backspace.

Issue was resolved
