Intellisense interrupting typing in strings

Environment data

VS Code version: 1.11.2
Python Extension version: 0.6.3
Python Version: 2.7.13
OS and version: MacOS Sierra 10.12.4

Actual behavior

When putting a full stop at the end of a line inside triple quotes the intellisense dialog pops up and suggests a bunch of options. I then hit the enter key to go to the next line but instead of going to the next line it adds the first suggestion in the intellisense dialog to the string.

Expected behavior

No intellisense inside triple quoted strings. It's very clunky to have to hit the escape key at the end of every line with a full stop on it.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Type this code. When you get to the first full stop at the end of the line it will suggest a bunch of possible options to insert.

print """
There's somethign going on here.
With the three double-quotes.
"""

After doing a little more testing today I've noticed this is happening for all strings. Any time I put a '.' character in a string I get an intellisense dialog.

As an extra bit of info this only happens when coding in Python. The other languages do not have this behaviour.

Other languages too have this issue. Will check if there's a solution.

"editor.quickSuggestions" setting seems to be not working with Python. My current workaround is temporarily setting "editor.suggestOnTriggerCharacters" to false.
