I forgot to mention that I’ve only noticed this behavior only when trying to complete files and that it
works correctly with something like M-x

Hi, Sean,

Sure, let me try to rephrase.

The tests are done when trying to complete file names by doing C-x C-f with by starting emacs with:

emacs -Q --eval "(setq completion-auto-help 'always)"
emacs -Q --eval "(setq completion-auto-help 'visible)"

Try to complete `~/.emacs.d/e` for the *Completions* window to open and show the candidates.


Actual behaviour:

Once a completion with TAB has been fully done the *Completions* window doesn't close and the minibuffer doesn't display "[Sole completion]".


Expected behaviour:

The *Completions* window should close and the minibuffer should display the message "[Sole completion]".
