Dreamweaver does not auto-complete /script tag

Question

Dremaweaver CS5 Version 11.0 Build 4993 - does not close script tag. I type <script> include the text then type </   and the Script tag is NOT closed.
When I type </  the script tag should complete and close automatically.
So, for example:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function closeThisWindow() {
     window.close();
</
I have to type </script>  because it does not auto-complete.
Thanks,
Don.

Good morning all,
Ok, Jon, thank you. I've not used a lot of </ within the scripts that I've written so, so far, that hasn't been a problem for me. Your explanation makes sense though. It also explains why it works if you select the option to:  close after typing the opening tag's ">". Because once the opening and closing tags have been populated, entering </ would have no effect on the scripot tag at all.
Very nice response Jon. This behavior is crystal clear now and in fact, it seems to be a feature, not a bug.
Thank you,
Don.
