This problem happens in MMC 2.4.1 and 2.4.2 on OSX 10.8.4.

If I type [abc], I get [aabbcc].

If I paste [abc] I get [abc].

In other words, this happens only inside of square brackets and only when typing (as far as I can tell).

   Can you send a sample document? Have you tried creating a new user account and running Composer there (e.g. disabling all third party applications)?

   Inside square brackets, Composer tries to autocomplete existing labels, but I've never seen this happen.

   I have somewhat the same problem. If I type a square bracket I get a pair with the cursor inside, as I set in the prefs, but as soon as I start typing I get all double letters. The only workaround I have found is to type the text, select it, and hit left bracket. This surrounds the expression with brackets. It is rather annoying that I can't type normally.

   Well, what do you know? I don't have the problem in a new file. I've
   gzipped and attached the file. I hope you can reproduce the bug!

   Thanks,

   Thanks for the sample file. The problem is the empty labels you placed in the headers:

   ## Manual mount command [] ####
   

   I'll fix the double characters now that I have a cause, but I am curious why you did that?

   Those crazy square brackets were added by one of the many markdown editors
   I keep trying. That file started in nvALT2 and was then pasted into MMC or
   Scrivener or something else? I don't remember - I keep trying to remove
   those things, but it's a lot of trouble.

   I'll keep my eye out - if I see this behavior in the future, I'll tell you
   who the culprit is.

   Thanks so much for looking at this. You're a good detective!
