Alt-F2 no longer auto-completes (highlights suggestions)

[jonesints]

In 11.04, pressing Alt-f2 and typing your application means one has to select from a list of suggestions. Either:
1) using the mouse
2) the keyboard arrows
3) tabbing until you got to the thing you are after.

Back in 10.10 and before, a simple Alt-F2 meant a *very* quick launch because of suggestions auto-completed as soon as a unique name was found.
I think this needs marking as a reversion?

Am I the only one in Precise that doesn't even get the options listed in comment #1? There is no auto-completion or suggestions of any kind.

Only six people have reported this? I'll be amazed if there aren't duplicates.

As part of the big bug review for 16.04 LTS I have tested this on 15.10 and the bug is still there. I think this is a feature request rather than a bug.

Results are displayed as soon as typing begins. Pressing Enter will run the first result, so perhaps auto-completion isn't necessary?
