Observed behaviour
When using the tab key to autocomplete an emote,sticker,etc, the text area is highlighted as if it is being used to navigate the UI rather than just being used to auto-complete.
On discord, auto-completing using the tab key doesn't highlight the text area and requires an additional tab press after the auto-complete is done to then highlight it.
Reproduction steps
- Open a channel, DM, etc where you can post messages and click the message box.
- Press the colon key ":" and type in a few letters to start the auto-complete process.
- Press the Tab key to finish the auto-complete process.
