Autocomplete replaces the existing expression incorrectly JS/TS

[v57]

Summary

Autocomplete replaces the existing expression instead of wrapping it when accepting a suggestion.

Steps to trigger the problem:

Type the following code in Zed (JS/TS):

this.value

Place the cursor before this.value.
Start typing Math.ro and press Enter to accept the Math.round autocomplete suggestion.

Actual Behavior:
The code is transformed into:

Math.round(|x|).value // Cursor selection marked by |

Zed inserts Math.round(x) instead of correctly wrapping the existing expression.

Expected Behavior:
The code should transform into:

Math.round(this.value)|

or

some = Math.round|this.value // Current behavior in VSCode

Autocomplete should wrap this.value instead of replacing it with a generic placeholder.

I can reproduce.
I'm not sure the auto-surround behavior Math.round(this.value) would be the desired behavior in all circumstances, but Zed clobbering the next token (this in your example) definitely seems broken.

Thanks for reporting.

Another example of Zed clobbering the next token (this has basically been the case for several months, at least in Python code bases):
