Well as expected, with Wine's edit control it seems they do work
indeed with autocomplete, in the sense that a tab character does end
up printed on a multi-line edit control (same with newline of course)
and then it does auto-suggest an entry with a tab, so autocomplete
works.

I couldn't get Windows XP to work yet to print a tab, but since our
edit control already handles such characters like tab, I think it's
better to allow it to autocomplete just in case. Or am I wrong?
