My opinion is that there is no need to show visually that there are more candidates, most (all?) other programs I use never do that, they just display a list of candidates, and it becomes clear that there are no more candidates when the list shrinks after enough input. Stefan's opinion is that one could add a visual indication at the end of the candidate list, which means that when one does _not_ see that indication there are more candidates. It's a "non-ellipsis" if you want, a "this is the end" indication. For example: Find file: a[] aaa abb acc| (where [] represents the cursor and | the end indication).
