Description
When a class is automatically imported as a result of accepting an "inline" suggestion, an import line is added at the top of the file which moves other lines down by 1 or 2. However, the cursor remains at the same position which makes it feel like the cursor was moved on autoimport. This problem does not occur if "quickSuggestions" is set to "on".
Environment
- Operating System: Windows 10
- Visual Studio Code version: 1.87.2
- Java extension version: 1.29.0
Steps To Reproduce
- Set
"editor.quickSuggestions": { "other": "inline" }in settings.json - Start typing a name of a not imported class
- Accept the suggestion
- An
importline appears moving other lines down. The cursor, however, doesn't move along
Here's a demonstration.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Visual Studio Code 1.87.2 with the Java extension and the editor.quickSuggestions setting in settings.json. Compare accepting an unimported class with inline versus on, then trace how the added import affects the cursor position. Done means the cursor follows the accepted text when an import line is inserted.
