Description

I think this might be a duplicate but the problem is still happening, so ... I did get an error #6464 but maybe I entered a wrong key. I later figured out that pressing 'c' makes it work as normal. Not sure if this is related to #2566 .

Describe the bug

Multi cursor comes up, when using this snippet. Pressing 'c' makes it work as normal but don't know if it's still a bug that needs to be fixed.

"Shortcode link": {
  "prefix": "link",
  "body": [
    "[${1:pandoc page}]({{< link \"/code/pandoc\" >}} \"$1\")"
  ],
  "description": "Shortcode link"
},

To Reproduce

Use the snippet above.

Expected behavior

Work normally without multi cursor. This snippet works fine.

"foo": {
  "prefix": "foo",
  "body": [
    "foo is ${1:bar} now $1"
  ],
  "description": "foo"
},
