Must tab through deleted tab stops in snippets

[lamebear]

• VSCode Version: 1.14.2
• OS Version: OSX 10.12.5

Using the following PHP snippet:

"function …": {
	"prefix": "fun",
	"body": [
		"${1:public }function ${2:FunctionName}(${3:${4:${5:Type} }$${6:var}${7: = ${8:null}}})",
		"{",
		"\t${0:# code...}",
		"}"
	],
	"description": "Function"
},

Which generates:

public function FunctionName(Type $var = null)
{
    # code...
}

If I don't want any function arguements and I delete the code inbetween ( and ) that is generated from the snippet, I have to press tab 6 times after entering tabstop 3 to get to tabstop 0.

It would be ideal if the snippet controller and session were able to understand that tab stop 3 was deleted so the nested tab stops would then be ignored.

Yes. This month is issue grooming month and that also means we look at and fix old issues. Such as this one ;-)
