bracket navigation ("go to bracket" & "expand selection"...) in plain text files is broken

Issue Type: Bug

1. in VSCode, hit [ctrl+N] (File → New Text File)
2. notice the language mode button on the status bar (↘) says Plain Text
3. insert following text:

   outside text (inside text)
   outside text [inside text]
   outside text {inside text}
   

4. put cursor on any bracket, hit [F1] (command palette) → go to bracket
   result: no change in cursor location (broken in the latest VSCode update)
   expected: cursor should jump to matching bracket
5. put cursor on any instance of the text “inside”, hit [F1] (command palette) → expand selection
6. notice selection around “inside”
7. use expand selection again
   result: selection expands to whole line (broken in the latest VSCode update)
   expected: repeated uses of expand selection should select
   
   • “inside”
     
   • “inside text”
     
   • “{inside text}”
     
   • and then the whole line

If you don’t like the colors, you can turn them off: "editor.bracketPairColorization.enabled": false

I also added "editor.guides.highlightActiveBracketPair": false to keep the colors faded

Thanks for the tip, and keep up the good work

Workaround for now:

Add this to your settings:

"[plaintext]": {
    "editor.language.colorizedBracketPairs": [
        ["{", "}"],
        ["(", ")"],
        ["[", "]"]
    ]
},

If you don’t like the colors, you can turn them off:

"editor.bracketPairColorization.enabled": false

I’m working on a fix so that matching works independently of colorizedBracketPairs.
