Can someone else confirm that autocomplete HTML tags is not working in Visual Studio

Can someone else confirm that autocomplete HTML tags is not working in Visual Studio 2012?
You know, type <a> and VS2010 automatically inserts </a>. That doesn’t seem to work in VS2012 at all – I tried this on 3 different machines (Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows Server 2008), two of them had previously installed VS2010 but one was completely clean (fresh VS2012 install on Windows 8 Professional).

If someone can confirm, do you maybe have a solution for it? This is such a pain, it renders VS2012 broken for me.

I opened a Connect case here if you wish to vote on it:

    I worked with MS’s Visual Studio 2012 team to figure out what was going on and it happens to be a locale related issue. It is actually a confirmed bug.

    See this blog article for more information:
