Netbeans 7.4 double quote marks autocomple on new line

double-quotes, netbeans, netbeans-7.4, php

Solution

I ran into this problem as well, and boy is it annoying.

The following answer applies to both NetBeans 7 and 8:

- Within NetBeans: Under the top menu (in NetBeans,) click Tools -> Options

- In the pop-up window, go to: Editor -> Code Completion (tab)

- Uncheck `Use String Auto-Concatenation after Types Break`, located at the very bottom

Problem

In Netbeans 7.4 when you hit Return within a set of double quotes it auto-completes using concatenation syntax. i.e. How can I switch this off?
