Sublime text autocomplete bug (HTML Tags)

There has been a little bug with my Sublime Text 3. When I try auto-completing some HTML tags, a extra '<' is inserted before the first tag, making me have to go back and manually delete it every time I autocomplete tags. I am using build 3176 and I have tried rolling back to 3170 but the issue still occurred. The odd thing is that on my main PC, even though I have the same version of Sublime Text, the bug does not occur there. I have included images below of my issue.

Just type the short version that you want, may it be 'p' for <p></p> and press the tab, not enter and it will autocomplete.

What happens is, it looks like you are using Emmet. You gotta give only the tag name and it completes.

Eg:

div→
<div></div>

a→
<a href=""></a>

link→
<link rel="stylesheet" href="" />

img→
<img src="" alt="" />

Try to leverage the use of Emmet this way. You have a huge list of Cheat Sheet to make use of too. It's really a feature and not a bug. :)
