I think in this case both behaviors can make sense. It's not clear to
me that one is better than the other. Clearly, the M-x had to be typed,
but the user had to switch to the mouse in order to click the
`find-file' completion, so maybe she wants to keep using the mouse
rather than switch back to the keyboard.
