It sounds like you may be auto completing before you finish typing.

Are you hitting your track pad while you start to type in the name?

Try this: Begin to type the name, and when the name appears, use the down arrow key and hit enter

If the hot keys work, I wonder if there is an add on or javascript that is corrupt.

Try this next: clear the cache for Google Docs with these steps: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/delete-cookies-remove-info-websites-...

Thanks. 

  Keyboard Down/ Up/ Cleck did the trick.

   Mouse Hovering over/click won't do.
       
     Changed since late 2017.  Mystery solved.

After cleaning up the Legacy Addons, all problems are gone. Thanks.
