What effect is that?
Are you sure there are multiple completion candidates in the buffer? If
there's only one candidate in the buffer, `dabbrev-completion' will
immediately complete the word without bringing up a "*Completions*"
buffer. That would look like the same thing `dabbrev-expand' does.
You can check which key Emacs thinks you pressed and which command it
called by invoking `view-lossage' (bound to "C-h l").
