bug#81631: 32.0.50; setting completion-auto-select t when completions-format is 'vertical doesn't returns to the minibuffer when cycling

Hi,

Setting completions-format 'vertical and completion-auto-select t
doesn't cycle to the minibuffer when tapping TAB.

This behavior is expected since it is the one 'one-column uses and also
'horizontal

Reproduce with:

emacs -Q --eval "(setq completions-format 'vertical
completion-auto-select t)"


Thanks in advance.
