Bug Description
When typing @tags into a task, existing matching tags should be suggested for auto-completion. The simplest way to do this would be the same way OpenOffice does it for long words that you're typing - it completes the rest of the word for you but leaves your cursor where it is, with the auto-completed part of the word selected.
This way, if you carry on typing, the selected part will be replaced - so if it's got the autocomplete wrong, the user doesn't even notice. If it's got it right, you can press enter to accept the suggestion and it'll place the cursor at the end of the word, ready for you to carry on typing.
I think I would prefer tab for accepting the suggestion rather than enter but these are implementation details really - some form of auto-complete for @tags would be nice.

I like the idea a lot (simple, efficient and no new UI needed)
