***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In Settings -> Editor -> Editing -> Auto Completion, turn off 'Auto select first completion entry'
2. Type something that triggers auto completion (from the KDevelop language support side, not the basic Kate autocomplete)
3. Press Enter

OBSERVED RESULT
The first result of the autocompletion is inserted because the first autocomplete entry is selected

EXPECTED RESULT
A new line is inserted because no autocompletion entry is selected

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma:
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.104.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Kate option to not auto-select the first autocompletion target is not honoured by KDevelop's autocompletion even though the option exists in the KDevelop settings. This causes issues when getting spurious autocompletion (e.g. for Python, it constantly tries to insert a blank variable entry in f strings).
