edition.preview-completion-insert = false produces unexpected autocompletions about helix HOT 2 OPEN

this is intentional all this does is prevent the preview when you select a completion. We still auto accept all completions when typing any character when one is selected

I see. I suppose my expectations for why I felt it was a bug is because with the inserted preview gone, the cursor now remains at the initial spot:

And so if I were to press backspace, I'd expect it to delete the character before that, but it instead inserts the suggestion first and deletes a character off of it:

Perhaps it's not the goal of preview-completion-insert in particular, but it would be nice if only Enter/Return triggered the completion. That would be more in-line with how VSCode, IntelliJ IDEs, nvim-cmp, Lapce, Zed, etc. behaves as well.
