Tab autocomplete deletes argument if not finished with the Loading... state.

[SpBills]

If I hit enter in the following state, it deletes the entire argument. I.E. if I was autocompleting cd abc/123/ it would replace the entire line with just cd.

However, once I wait for the following state I can successfully hit enter.

@SpBills , can you give me more information? I can't see to recreate the issue. See my screen recording below.

Before you run the tab completion, execute $error.Clear() and then run $error and share the contents, if any

@kelleyma49 Okay, so I have been working with it a little more.

Turns out my solution of waiting a little does NOT fix the problem. It was confirmation bias. Weirdly enough, sometimes whenever I hit enter it just erases the entire argument I am autocompleting.

Would you mind sharing the relevant part of your config for tab completion? Thanks!

Here's the lines from my config file:

Import-Module PSFzf
Set-PsFzfOption `
    -TabExpansion `
    -PSReadlineChordProvider 'Ctrl+t' `
    -PSReadlineChordReverseHistory 'Ctrl+r' `
    -PSReadlineChordReverseHistoryArgs 'Alt+a' `
    -EnableAliasFuzzyEdit `
    -EnableAliasFuzzyFasd `
    -EnableAliasFuzzyHistory `
    -EnableAliasFuzzyKillProcess `
    -EnableAliasFuzzySetLocation `
    -EnableAliasFuzzyZLocation `
    -EnableAliasFuzzyGitStatus `
    -EnableAliasFuzzySetEverything `
    -GitKeyBindings #`
    #-EnableFd

Set-PSReadLineKeyHandler -Key Tab -ScriptBlock { Invoke-FzfTabCompletion }

An update here. I went ahead and updated and am getting a new error. It's definitely failing a whole lot less tho.
