Describe the bug [Required]

In the new VS Code version 1.73.1, surrounding text with a command using autocomplete no longer works. It deletes the selected text and replaces it with the selected command from autocomplete. (Tested on Windows and Ubuntu). However, in the older version 1.72.2 it works perfectly fine.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. write a text e.g. test
2. select the text
3. write \ and autocomplete to \(
4. the selected text is replaced by \(\)

Expected behavior

The test should be surrounded by brackets \(test\).
