Using the tab key to complete commands on iOS doesn't work as expected. Command completion options don't work when tab key is used at the end of the parameter, but do if you move the cursor to the start of the parameter.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type "/locate str"
2. Press the tab key
Observed Results:
Command does not complete to "/locate structure" and instead you get "/locate strΕ"
Expected Results:
Command completes to "/locate structure"
Notes:
Typing "/locate str" and then moving the cursor before the "s" in structure (with the cursor keys on the keyboard) and then pressing tab causes the command to complete, but places a Ε symbol before it (the command still works anyway).
Happy to record a video if required.
Edit: Updated description and use case to reflect changes to the /locate command from when /locate biome was introduced.

Still an issue as of 26.3 (on iOS 26).
Took some notes on the behavior of the bug:
Pressing tab returns to the start of the line.
Sometimes it adds the first option (e.g. β@aβ), but its inconsistent.
Some tests with /give:
β/give β followed by tab β β/give Εβ in text box β β/give @a" according to syntax error
β/give @" tab β gold_blockβ β β/give @Ε gold_blockβ β unexpected β@β syntax error
β/give β tab (added β@aβ) β gold_blockβ β/give Ε@a gold_blockβ β gets Block of Gold
β/give β tab (no added β@aβ) β gold_blockβ β β/give Ε gold_blockβ β unexpected ββ syntax error
β/give β tab (no added β@aβ), add 1 at start β β1/give @aβ in chat box
β/give β tab (no added β@aβ), add & remove 1 at start, add β gold_blockβ β β/give @a gold_blockβ in chat box β gets Block of Gold
Some tests with /say:
β/say β followed by tab β β/say Εβ in text box β invalid message length error
β/say xβ followed by tab β β/say xΕβ in text box β βxΕβ in chat
Some tests with chat only:
tab only β βΕβ in text box β no message in chat, similar to inputting only spaces
βxβ followed by tab β βxΕβ in text box β βxΕβ in chat
tab followed by βxβ β βΕxβ in text box β βxβ in chat
