VS Code code auto autocomplete highlighting

When in VS Code I use auto completion the selected text appears with the highlighted cursor placement. This highlighting prevents VS Code from offering further suggestions.

enter image description here

How can I disable this highlighting? I want to be able to use autocomplete one after another without having to hit ESC to quit highlighting.

VS Code 1.44.0
