Autocomplete sometimes overwrites/deletes characters

I’m not really sure how to reproduce, because it seems to happen at complete random.

if (getKilled(NpcID.MONSTER_1)) { if (getKilled(NpcID.MONSTER_2 {

Take that code for example: I replaced a previous value with MONSTER_1 using autocomplete, and it worked fine. A few lines down, I go to replace text by selecting it and start typing MONSTER_2 and autocomplete to finish typing it, and it deletes )). Sometimes it will even delete the opening bracket at the end too.

You can set "java.completion.overwrite": false in your settings

I am able to reproduce this with a Visual studio code for windows with Angular project while typing inside HTML file. I’m not sure if windows version uses same mechanics as java one for linuxes, but i will share my experience. It might be an additional problem to already defined one by OP though.

example:

<div class="myclass" *ngIf="obj.isVisible(myParam)">

The overwrite happens when the auto-completion list source is the same HTML document. I mean, if i type “obj.isVisible” for the first time, there is no auto-completion suggestion shown, but when i repeat this inside same document, but another place, it will show auto-completion and will delete characters once suggestion is confirmed. If i type “myParam” inside parenthesis and confirm auto-completion, it will delete the closing parenthesis. If my starting string was *ngIf=“obj”> and i continue to write obj.isVi and confirm the suggestion, then it will delete "> characters.

I found no issues in .ts files (as it uses type driven auto-completion i guess). Only in HTML.
