sorry, I didn't check. My point was that there is a mismatch between a closing parent and an initial opening parent
somewhereeven if Emacs shows the last parent as matching the last opening parent.
So, you are right of course.
postgres=# create table t1(v1 int, v2 int, v3 int);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# insert into t1(v1, v2, v3)
values
(1, 2, 3),
(4, 5, 6),
(7, 8, 9);
INSERT 0 3
Cheers,
Paul
