The problem is not in the shortcut itself, it's the parser. I've
noticed such inconsistent behaviour in 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 but was never
smart enough to save the file and hunt down the bug to report it. Most
of the problems I had were related to a missing closing brace which
was there. Adding another one fixed the problem though it was
obviously wrong (as official POV and the 'match brace' function of the
editor confirm).

I remember some of the files I got from these groups had such a
problem, with some luck I might find it.
