When I enter the name of a new function and put a parenthesis, the closing bracket does not appear. The auto-close only works when I put a parenthesis in an already existing parenthesis pair.
Hi,
You forgot to state your platform and your CodeLite version. That's always a good idea, but especially for Code Completion which has had lots of recent changes.
Anyway, it might be because of your Settings. Look in Settings > Preferences > Edit and make sure that
'Auto complete closing bracket and parentheses'
is ticked.

I already have the settings that you specified, but the brackets are not closing. I want to note that this works randomly: the bracket may or may not close, I did not understand what it depends on.
The closing parenthesis will appear:
{ -> you need to hit ENTER{ and then you typed anything but ENTER -> you will not get the closing one( it will always add the closing one[ it will always add the closing one
