Thank you for reporting the bug. I can reproduce this. Upon typing the same letter as previous cell, it autocompletes the word as in the earlier cell. But it does allow to overwrite.

William: how exactly does the problem manifest itself?
Like Durgapriyanka ("it does allow to overwrite"), based on your description I am not seeing the problem.
Possibly you have left out some important detail, so we do not understand it fully.

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the information.
