Can you provide an example?  As soon as you type more than existing
accounts it should stop trying to match, and indeed that's what it
does here for me.

Anyone could give a clue on where I should begin looking ? That is, where's the portion of code responsible for handling input ?

A combination of places.  QuickFill and the register.
