On reaching the point in the path /usr/src/external/gpl highlighting
either gpl2 or gpl3 in the only 1 *Completions* window and pressing C-j
will enter dired mode for that directory.
Pressing TAB at that point on either highlighted alternatives duplicates
the *Completions* window resulting in 2 *Completions* windows. And, as
far as I know the user has to mouse select from the duplicated window.
The intended behavior is to get to the target configure file preferably
without needing to mouse point in the second *Completions* window, TAB
would select from the inferred highlighted option.
