  The user typing 'arc' then pressing Enter, and getting the file opened with 
wireshark is broken behaviour form the user's POV, that's the crux of the bug 
report in question.
  
  That combobox uses KCompletion and not having the up/down arrow keys navigate 
through the possible completions in the popup menu, when the mode[1] is 
CompletionPopup or CompletionPopupAuto, would be broken behaviour too, and 
unexpected by the user; e.g. in Dolphin, typing a path, there's popup list with 
possible completions, the arrow keys navigate through that list.
  
  KRunner is a different beast, it can search files, execute commands, invoke 
kcm modules, manage open windows... etc.
  
  Besides, we are talking about a corner case, 9 out of 10 times you'll only 
get 1 match.
