How is this supposed to work?
The problem is _during_ the Completions buffer is shown, when we're hitting
Tab, not when we're done. Besides its window is usually closed
automatically. Killing the buffer won't make the scroll-other-window work
the usuall way.

This would work I imagine. But don't do this in general when the
Completions buffer is shown, but only when we use autocomplete
functionality with Tab _and_ the buffer is shown.
