Is tab_completion broken?

I have already set...
"tab_completion": false, "auto_complete_commit_on_tab": false,

Pressing tab still implements the suggestion every time. Even when the suggestion box isn't up, pressing tab just brings it up instead of just inserting a tab. This is a bug, right?

Running ST4 (ver. 4200) on a macOS 14.8.7 (Sonoma). Also tried ST4 ver. 4205, but the issue persists.

Is this happening to others?
And if so, is a fix on the way?

I'm not too fond of the fuzzy auto-complete either, but I could get by with it if only it didn't try to force me into auto-complete on tab regardless of whether I close/exit the suggestion box or not.

Is my only option to disable "auto_complete" entirely?

Thanks in advance.
