[GNC] autocomplete not working in 3.2

[Alun Champion]

I can confirm 3.2 has issues with completion on MacOS.
When typing in the register description the first letter completes but the
next letter inserts vs replaces the proposed completion, so if you intended
`commute`, `c` would complete to `car` and the next key would end up with
`coar`, which isn't the intended behaviour.

Also I've had an issue occur multiple times where it would start not
accepting any normal keyboard input in any field of the register, and need
to restart the application. (Note: cut and paste still works).

Regards
   -Alun.
