I beg to differ, if this happens only in the payee completion combo then it's
definitely an upstream problem since the payee completion combo is a "native"
Qt combobox untempered by us :). On the other hand the categories combo is a
"hand made" widget by us.

So if you have a problem with the "hand made" widget please file a BUG, it
won't be rejected, I promise but the payee combo is a plain Qt combo and
frankly I'm pretty tired of debugging Qt code. You could try unchecking "Match
names from start" in the settings to see if your problem is caused by the one
small customization we have in the payees combo (BTW: we have that one to work
around the lack of a feature in the QtCompleter).
