Stop Visual Studio Xaml Editor showing snippets when I press the Tab button

After a recent update of either Visual Studio 2022 or R#, now when I'm in the xaml editor and I press the tab key, the snippets dialog pops up.

This is new behaviour, and is incredibly annoying. Can I stop it?

I've searched the settings and the kep mappings, and tried various internet searches, but can't find any specific fixes.

When I press the tab key, I expect the editor to insert a tab character into my document.

What actually happens is that I press the tab key, and the code snippets menu will pop up. If I press the tab key again, it vanishes.

Screen shot as requested after pressing Tab

Same thing, but Ctrl K X

By default, Ctrl+K, X invokes code snippets menu in XAML file. Please check if you have set Tab as a shortcut to invoke code snippets to pop up.

Tools->Options->Environment->Keyboard, type snipp in Show commands containing and find Edit.InsertSnippet.

You can assign other keyboards to InsertSnippet.

Besides, this doc XAML code snippets notes

We've enhanced IntelliSense so that it supports showing XAML snippets.

Looks like code snippets is a built-in in IntelliSense. I'm afraid there is no settings/options available to disable it.
