Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue, I was looking into the exact same case just yesterday: Windows; Accepting suggestion via Tab doesn't work half the time

Quick workaround when Tab stops working:
Ctrl + Shift + PDeveloper: Reload Window

The bug is logged, and the team is aware.
