Research direction

Reproduce the issue while typing in the variables.py example, following the cursor and code-hint states shown in the screenshots. Check what happens when Enter is pressed after the closing parenthesis; done means the typed “a)” is not unexpectedly replaced by the suggested block.

Description

Autocomplete bug

This case found when typing in a variables.py example.

Up to here, all entries and behavior is fine (note cursor position and code hint):

And here, one ")" character later, still fine (though I don't see how try/except is a good suggestion)

But then upon hitting enter key, that "a)" is replaced with the hinted block - not at all what user expects at that moment.
