When you expand abbreviation (especially like ul>li*3), Emmet generates tabstops (fields in terms of Sublime Text) in some important places assuming that you’re likely want to fill-up data in them (attribute values, tag contents etc.). So after you expand abbreviation you’re actually moving between tabstops with Tab/Shift-Tab. It’s a pity that ST does not displays decorations for tabstops.

You can simply press Esc key to quit tabstops mode and use Tab for expanding abbreviations.

You can use CTRL+E to expand lorem3, instead of TAB.
