Hi. Can anyone tell me how I can disable the annoying 'auto-text' feature in Automator? Every time I start typing in the apple script box, a "..." appears and then Automator decides to fill in a few random words, which means the script end up a complete mess. Why Apple thought that feature would be useful is beyond me!
Thanks in advance.

The fix is to not attempt to enter AppleScript code directly in the Run AppleScript action, whether in Automator, or Shortcuts, as the "auto-text" ellipse issue is present in both. After substantial experimentation, this issue remains unresolvable in Monterey 12.6.6 and Ventura 13.4.
I now exclusively code AppleScript either in Apple's Script Editor, or Late Night Software's Script Debugger, and then copy/paste the tested code into the Run AppleScript action. Any subsequent changes are made in the external editor(s) and then that AppleScript replaces the content in the Run AppleScript action. I simply avoid typing in the action itself.
