Tab complete doesnt complete the suggestion it shows

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

tab complete sometimes shows a suggestion and i furiously press tab key but nothing happens.. instead i have to write something and then tab complete to remove the garbage i inserted and accept the suggestion. however after writing something the suggestion changes and rarely comes up with the same suggestion again or it inserts the snippet and deletes the next 5-20 lines of code which is completely unrelated code it shouldn;t be touching

Steps to Reproduce

open cursor editor starting writing some javascript and it will refuse to complete after a short while

Expected Behavior

tab complete should insert the suggestion when i press tab and not remove arbitrary parts of the codebase

Operating System

Linux

For AI issues: which model did you use?

i usually use claude 4.5 sonnet but i dont believe its used for tab complete

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Sorry that you faced this. This could sometimes be related to network issues. Are you still facing this?

yes, it happens primarily when my cursor is at the start of a line and the suggestion shows but its not possible to accept the suggestion until i enter some spaces and then wait for another suggestion to show up
