Autocomplete in angular .html does not prepend missing part of property

Autocomplete in .html works but after selecting title from popup results into {{t}} > {{ttitle}}. It does not prepend missing characters, so the test should pass referencing autocomplete on property from a object, {{person.n}} > {{person.nname}}.

Autocomplete in .ts does have two autocomplete options, one with prepending missing characters, and one with full name prepend (which is the only option in .html autocomplete).

I can reproduce it easily for HTML in a test case, see #280 . Debugging this test, I see the completionItem we receive is

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"2","result":[{"label":"title","kind":10,"detail":"property","sortText":"title","textEdit":{"range":{"start":{"line":0,"character":7},"end":{"line":0,"character":7}},"newText":"title"}}]}

according to the spec, this is an instruction to insert title on character 7, without deleting anything. So Eclipse IDE (LSP4E) is doing the right thing, and the issue comes from the language server not passing the right range.

I opened angular/vscode-ng-language-service#417 for the language server.

This seems to be working better since 0.8.1 and recent update of Angular language server.
