If it works with gtk1, then it is a LCL gtk2 interface bug. Does it
work with gtk1 for you? Under gnome it works with gtk1.
In gtk1 it works fine. So in this case it's a gtk2 problem.

Under linux/gtk1/gnome I can type code, when the completion box is
open. Cursor keys UP/Down switches selection. Return key closes box and
replaces identifier with selection. Shift+Return appends identifier.
Escape closes box without change. Normal key ('a'..'z') appears in the
source editor and reduces the shown possibilities in the box.

To avoid misunderstanding:
Ctrl+J is code template. Do not confuse this with Ctrl+Space identifier
completion (Delphi slang: code completion) and Ctrl+W word completion.
All three show the completion box.
I was referring to identifier completion: Ctrl+Space , followed by "dot" to
see the object's methods and properties.
