editor.linkedEditing prevents auto-import from working when using intellisense completion

[valtism]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: 1.91.1
• OS Version: macOS 14.5

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a new ReactJS project by running npm create vite@latest
2. Call it whatever you like, and select react and typescript as the options
3. Open the folder in VSCode
4. Reload without extensions and ensure that editor.linkedEditing is turned on in the settings
5. Under /src create a file called MyComponent.tsx
6. Add the following code to the component:

   export function MyComponent({ children }) {
   return <div>{children}</div>;
   }

7. Go to /src/App.tsx
8. In the JSX, copy and paste <MyComponent>Hello</MyComponent> inside the JSX, making sure not to auto-import the component
9. Delete the ent in the opening tag, then just type nt and select the component from the intellisense dropdown
10. Note the component does not get imported
11. Next, delete some of the opening tag again, then type out the full name of the tag and select it from the dropdown
12. This time it is imported
13. Delete the import, then turn off editor.linkedEditing in user settings
14. Now when you delete some of the opening tag, then complete some but not all of it and select the import it will both autocomplete and import the component

Expected:

The editor.linkedEditing setting should always import the component, even if it needs to complete the word.
