Description
Apologies if this is easily fixed, but I wasn't able to find it in the docs.
On my Mac, when I type any VSCode autocompletion, the autocompletion appends to what I have already written, producing invalid code. Say I'm writing is.infinite, and I have written is., I navigate over to infinite and press tab or Enter and the editor produces is.is.infinite().
Is there a setting to change this behavior? Is this intended to be the default behavior? Or am I missing something?
Thank you.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in VSCode using the R extension with a partially typed completion such as is. and the infinite suggestion, confirming the behavior with Tab and Enter. Trace the completion handling from the extension entry point to determine why the existing prefix is duplicated; done means selecting a completion replaces the typed prefix and produces valid R code.
