Sorry, I cannot follow the recording. Please write out steps and what the expected behaviour is

[kareemaboueid]

when the suggestions menu opens, I go down with the down arrow key to choose an option in the suggestions, while doing that, the menu reset to the first suggestion option, and every time I go down or even scroll by the mouse wheel, it does the same behavior.

Steps:

1- write a normal code. 2- The suggestions menu opens automatically or by hitting Ctrl + Space 3- I go down to see more suggestions and options and decide to choose one by clicking on the Enter key. 4- Just before hitting the Enter or even if I'm still going down, the menu reset itself to be in the first state and stops on the first option.

I made another showcase video, I hope it's clear my point

Thanks for the clarification. Can't repro on my machine. Two things

1. Can you enable trace logging (F1 > Set Log Level > Trace) and share the window logs (F1 > Show Logs > Window). Looking for messages like this but please share the whole trace

2024-08-08 17:18:59.727 [trace] KeybindingService#dispatch ↓ [ Will dispatch command selectNextSuggestion ]
2024-08-08 17:18:59.728 [trace] CommandService#executeCommand selectNextSuggestion

2. try to disable extensions and see if the problem still exists. You can use Extension Bisect for this (F1 > Start Extension Bisect)

So, I did exactly what you said, and from the trace log below:

I spotted the extension that is causing the problem.

it is roerohan.mongo-snippets-for-node-js

I uninstalled it. and the problem is solved.

Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it Mr. @jrieken

@kareemaboueid Thanks for the quick response and good to know you are unblock. Drilled into this a little and it seems that the extension unregisters and registers it completion item providers periodically. The UI (VS Code) will then recompute the list and this is what apparently happens
