Tab_completion setting does not work as expected

#1

I recently upgraded to the most recent version of Sublime and I’m having trouble with the new tab functionality disturbing my workflow.

Previously the autocomplete would only occur if I pressed return/enter but now it happens even on tab.

This is really frustrating because when my code snippets would appear after using keywords I would be able to tab through to fill out the unique portions of the code. Now it will autofill the rest of my code with some other bit of code or text that is completely unrelated besides sharing the first few letters. It’s a huge pain as I have muscle memory that keeps triggering random words to show up.

I have tried "tab_completion": false in my settings and this does basically nothing. I also have tried messing with the key bindings and I can make tab work, but I can’t make it tab through the code. I would really love to be able to return to the previous functionality and version, especially if there’s no way to fix this besides recoding the app + key bindings by myself.

If you try starting Sublime in Safe Mode, does the same thing happen there?

Unfortunately safe mode does not solve my problem, tab still autocompletes, and we use customization as part of our workflow
