[Bug] Selected completion item replaces text incorrectly

#1

It appends replacement when there’s no letter in completion.
Here’s short gif: works ok for ‘:foo’, but fails on ‘:=’

Could you post your snippet files, please? (Both for \:foo and for \:=)

I can kinda replicate something similar:

test.sublime-completions:

{
    "scope": "source, text",
    "completions": [
        { "trigger": "\\:=", "contents": "><" }
    ]
}

type \: and press Ctrl+Space = \:><
type \ and press Ctrl+Space = \><
but type \:= and press Ctrl+Space = ><

not just slashes that cause it:

{
    "scope": "source, text",
    "completions": [
        { "trigger": "::=", "contents": "><" }
    ]
}

type :: and press Ctrl+Space = ::><
type : and press Ctrl+Space = :><
but type ::= and press Ctrl+Space = ><

I think it is to do with word separator characters? but either way, it is a bug, and should be reported at https://github.com/SublimeTextIssues/Core/issues

I have no snippet files. I’m using my plugin, so these completions was got from on_query_completion:
[("\\:foo", "≫"), ("\\:=", "≔"), ...]

Anyway, thanks to @kingkeith, he has shown similar issue for .sublime-completions
