Hello,

When working in a python notebook and using tab-complete to navigate the file system, I find that pressing enter on a partially completed path will add the full path to the cell in the notebook. This is annoying behaviour, since you end up with a duplicate string in a single path. For example if I type the following:

ls '/dbfs/mnt'

Then press tab. I am presented with a popup which says `/dbfs/mnt/base` and `/dbfs/mnt/lab`. If I click either of these options I would expect my cell to then look like this:

ls `/dbfs/mnt/base/`

But instead it looks like this:

ls '/dbfs/mnt//dbfs/mnt/base/'

Tab-complete would be much more helpful if it updated the path already present and not add the full path each time.

Is there a way to solve this?

Thanks

In the experimental Monaco editor, I found this particular issue not appearing.
