Xcode9 - how to restore the original text rewriting behavior when used in selected text?

I see that Xcode 9 has an unattractive new bug / function, where if I have some quick line, typing "adds an extra" to the end of the line:

"Existing String" //selected by double clicking on quotes ""Existing String"" //adding another quote does not overwrite the string, but wraps it in more quotes, resulting in utter nonsense

I get two blank lines with an unknown link between them. I expected to get a new blank line.

The new behavior is similar to [] in Objective-C code. I want to overwrite the method, instead I get an extra pair of brackets.

How to prevent Xcode from inserting quotation marks or brackets around selected text if it already has quotation marks or brackets?

PS. I get other text editing errors, especially {not balanced by closure} when creating new Obj-C methods.
