Strange problem with transaction editing auto-complete

[Colin Law]

No I am wrong again.  Yes there is something odd going on, it is just that
I had never noticed as I have always hit right arrow when it has auto
filled the correct string before hitting :

What is happening is that when : is hit it should skip to the end before
entering the : but in fact it (under some as yet undefined circumstances)
just enters the : inline.  For me, though, I am not seeing the ood there,
it just puts the : in and deletes the tentative ood that it has put there
ready for me to use.

This is on GC 2.6.13 on Ubuntu 16.10
