Current code hints design may prevent users from entering a new line into the editor when code hint list is open.

This is a blocking issue for implementing CSS hinting. CSS hinting wants to show property name hints as soon as the user types a { in a CSS rule. Current code hints design then selects the very first item by default when the list pops up. So when the user hits the Return key, then the selected item is inserted into the editor instead of inserting a new line into the editor.

We should allow the user to insert a new line and keep showing the css hint list at the new cursor location. In order to do that we should not have the default selection in the code hint list for CSS hinting.

Confirming fixed after pull #2387

It's difficult to confirm this is fixed because we don't have any providers that allow inserting whitespace. I tested it by setting selectInitial to false in the object returned from AttrHints.prototype.getHints. Once this is done, pressing "tab" or "enter" with the hint list open inserts appropriate whitespace and moves the hint window appropriately.
