Auto-import removes everything after the insertion point

Related to #82466

• VSCode Version:
  Version: 1.40.0-insider (user setup)
  Commit: a30e88a
  Date: 2019-10-14T05:42:51.751Z
  Electron: 6.0.12
  Chrome: 76.0.3809.146
  Node.js: 12.4.0
  V8: 7.6.303.31-electron.0
  OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.18362

• OS Version:
  Windows x64 10.0.18362

Steps to Reproduce:

See attached animated gif - as soon as the suggestion is accepted with ENTER key, everything after it is removed.

1. Create new class definition

export class Test {
}

2. Start defining constructor with a single parameter (notice that VSCode automatically adds closing bracket when you type the open bracket for the constructor and places the cursor inside the brackets)

constructor (private x: )

3. Start typing the parameter type name and wait for suggestions to show
4. Select something from the suggestion list

What happens:
Instead of ending up with something like this:

import { SomeType } from './somewhere';

export class Test {
  constructor(private x: SomeType)
}

You end up with this (notice the closing bracket is removed - this happens with everything after the auto-inserted type name)

export class Test {
  constructor(private x: SomeType
}

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Thanks for creating this issue! We figured it's covering the same as another one we already have. Thus, we closed this one as a duplicate. You can search for existing issues here. See also our issue reporting guidelines.

Happy Coding!

re-triggering insiders for that one

[JetLua]

The latest version of insider still has this problem.

@JetLua That's the idea behind #10266. Pressing shift+enter or shift+tab will insert and not replace, just pressing enter or tab will replace the current word. We can add yet another setting for this but I wonder if the two keyboard shortcuts are enough
