What's Wrong?

As your subject to "advise you on something and ask questions". It will ask questions. The answers come back like this,

I have some questions for you

1. Do you like poop?
2. Am I poop?

Should I proceed?
1. Foo
2. Bar
3. No

If you go down to "No" it'll say "press tab to write more"

Now let's say you're writing more but you want to write _"No. 1, but I don't like poo, and 2, you're not poop"_

The second you type <tab>1 the subject accepts the first option and moves on. Even though you were typing the explanation in the third option.

What Should Happen?

When typing after tab, nothing should be significant except Enter.
