[issue23954] Idle autocomplete: enter or clicking does not select the option

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

I have noticed ;-).  TAB TAB is required to select, which is slightly obnoxious.  Click within the box closes it, which is useless and annoying.  Scrollwheel  moves the entries but not the selection highlight, making it mostly useless  These behaviors are mostly contrary to the doc and are overt bugs.  Some of the bugginess appears specific to Windows.

This issue is a duplicate of #15786, so I am closing it as such.
