bug#36423: 27.0.50; electric-pair-mode not working properly depending of file content.

[Ergus]

In electric-pair-mode there are some files where inserting one " does
not insert the pair ". But on the other hand when I try to insert a
second " it inserts a pair for it so it ends with """.

It does not happen when the file is empty but for me it happens with
this file content.

---------------------------------------
#ifndef _SparseMatrix_functions_hpp_
#define _SparseMatrix_functions_hpp_



#endif
--------------------------------------- 

The behavior changes sometimes inserting a new line instead of the first
", or just not inserting any pair at all. This looks like an issue in a
backward search for a pair or something. Because it changes if withing
the define region or not.

When a region is active there is not issue and the quotes are inserted
in pairs around the region as expected.

This was reproduced with:

emacs -Q file.hpp
M-x electric-pair-modes
