For a simplest reproduction, take this html snippet in an xhtml file:
<a x=">
  "something"
</a>
And put the cursor after the first quotation mark, then type a forward slash. The ending tag gets deleted. The reproduction only needs quotation marks in the element content.

This occured to me when I had a big script block and added the type="text/javascript" attribute to it, and realized after deployment that the ending script tag got deleted. Of course, eclipse automaticall adds the ending quotation mark when typing a new attribute, but many times I just mistype and delete the ending quotation mark.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Described in the details.
