Wrapping Snippets were added back to the program shortly after their removal.

However, because Adobe refuses to let the Emmet-like keyword trigger fall to the wayside where it belongs, and use standard keyboard shortcuts like older versions did, wrapping snippets cannot be given keyword shortcuts. As you've found, the keyword simply overwrites the highlighted code.

This is not a bug, but simply the way it works now in newer versions.

It's less useful, but you can still highlight the code and double click the snippet name in the Snippet Window to wrap a code selection.
