input_dialog completion doesn't appear to have any effect

[MissingNoIOI]

I am using version 2.0.4 and it appears that currently the completion for the input_dialog doesn't have any effect.
When using code like the following:

path = input_dialog(title="Generate report",
                                text="Please enter the output path",
                                completer=PathCompleter(expanduser=True))

I can insert the path normally, theres no error, but no completion window appears. The same happens when trying to use a word completer.

Hi @MissingNoIOI,

This is a visualization bug. I believe the tab key or Control-N should work, but it doesn't display the menu. Somewhere we still have to add the CompletionsMenu to the layout of these dialogs.

Just experienced this too on 2.0.9 - tab doesn't work (because it instead moves to the < OK > button) but Ctrl-N does work as expected.

I have an almost working fix - will submit hopefully soon.

@kpengwin Did you get anywhere with the fix?

I also noticed this issue. Is there any chance for a soon fix?

Meanwhile, I tried to fix it myself: #1970
Probably it isn't a very good solution but at least an attempt.
