How to make vscode stop overriding closing parentheses on insertion

When I try to add closing parentheses, it always override the next parentheses to the right.

Here is a screen capture (it looks like I hit the right-key on the keyboard, but I'm actually inserting a new closing parentheses):

Is it possible to change this behavior?

Try setting:

"editor.autoClosingBrackets": "never"

to disable the autoclosing brackets feature entirely.
