Broken Xcode 16 autocomplete using Tab

I've recently upgraded to Xcode 16 and noticed a change in how the Tab key functions during autocomplete.

(not-replied-but-closed post: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255762888)

Previously, pressing Tab would extend the typed text up to the first point of choice. For example, we have two classes: NSViewController and NSViewCoordinator BEFORE, typing: "NSV" + Tab used to complete to NSViewCo

Now, in Xcode 16, pressing Tab selects the first suggestion by default, instead of completing up to the choice point. That is very inconvenient because very often I want just see all possible cases with some prefix...without need of typing all prefix manually.

Seems there is no way to restore the previous behavior and that looks very very sad. I have reverse engineered Xcode 16...and what I get? They just install new CodeCompletion handler instead of old one without any chance to configure this behaviour by settings or UserDefaults =\

Hope this thread would raise votes and attract Xcode devs here
