My problem is that when I’m creating a variable, let’s say int, and later I want to add the public modifier the word int gets deleted (I think the reason is due to the C# extension). This would not be a problem if this didn’t happen when I press space.
When I press space, I should be able to not only accept the intellisense suggestion (in this case "public") but also add a space between the suggestion and the word that was before. This wasn’t an issue before but VS Code and the C# extension had an update this week that brought this awful change.
Any suggestion of how can I solve this problem?
I tried adding "editor.suggest.insertMode": "insert" in settings.json, but apparently that’s not where the problem is.

From what I’ve read, this seems to be a bug. If I’m correct on that, there’s nothing you can do except wait for the bug to get fixed.
I googled "
