When editing a freeform RPGLE source, creating/updating an instruction, and displaying the list of built-in functions starting with %, two %% are selected giving an error.

[MarcoDeSenas]

I am editing a freeform RPGLE source and I am working on an instruction which requires a built-in function. When I hit % then the first letter of the function, I get the list of available functions starting with this letter. Then I select the one I want.

The result is that two %% become part of the instruction which is not correct, obviously. I should get only one.

Is there some setting somewhere to make sure that only one % gets returned from the list? Have a look at the attached GIF which is a record of this behavior, which applies to any built-in function.
