Intellij autocreates xml tags, how can it be disabled? -

i'm intellij idea 14.1.3 on ubuntu 14.04.1
when open/create xml file , start writing, after every space editor creates tag word before space.

for example if write:

the 

after hitting space editor leaves me with

<the></the>  

with cursor between tags.
frustrating , makes xml editor unusable me.
have tried disable smart keys in settings -> editor -> general -> smart keys , check boxes in settings -> editor -> general -> code completion doesn't help.

how can disable 'feature'?

intellij comes toolkit called emmet (see emmet.io) , has option group in settings -> editor -> emmet
there must entirely disable emmet or change expand abbreviation key (which in case space).
