What's Wrong?

I open a vanilla terminal on a MacBook Pro OSX 15.6.1
I start typing /context but the auto-complete jumps to "/compact"
I fully type out /context and press Enter but it runs the /compact command!

If I press Enter at the end here, it runs /compact instead of /context

If I press Esc instead, it finally switches the autocomplete to /context:

What Should Happen?

After I type /con the autocomplete should jump to /context
