vscode: Completions which use spaces are broken after updating from July to August version

VSCode Version: August 2020
OS Version: Windows 10

Updating to August from July version breaks completions which use spaces. When I start typing the first word, everything seems fine:

However, when I get to the second word, the completion starts anew from the second word:

Contrast this with how the completions work in July version:

These completions are generated by the Latex Workshop extension. All other extensions are disabled. However, Workshop developers say that they have no control over the completions.

To verify:

open a TS file
paste the snippet below
on the last line type b n and make sure that you see the bazz new completion

interface Boo {
	bar: number,
	['bazz new']: null;
}

let a: Boo;
a.

@jrieken thanks for your detailed explanations. It is now clear how we can fix this within the extension.
