Al Sweigart added the comment:

Edit: Looking into it further, this behavior was originally for when the Show 
Completions dropdown wasn't being displayed. In that case, pressing tab would 
complete only up to the first ambiguous completion.

For example, typing "os.ge" and pressing tab would complete to "os.get", since 
from there it is ambiguous whether it will be os.get_exec_path, 
os.get_handle_inheritable, get_terminal_size, etc.

This behavior should stay the same. Although if it is completely unambiguous 
what the final completion is (say for typing "pri" and pressing tab, which can 
only autocomplete to "print") then the Show Completions dropdown should 
disappear.
