Turn off autocomplete tab deletion in Intellij

Question

Here is an example of an issue I have. In Intellij if I am typing in front of String:

private statString foo = "bar"; 

And then I autocomplete static, String will be deleted. Is there a way to change the settings so that the autocomplete does not delete text?
