It has what could be called semi-automatic completion: if you start
typing characters and then click the dropdown list open, the first
matching list item (if any) will be selected. The edit part will be
completed to reflect that, and the complete text of the edit part
selected.

Funny thing: if you start typing while the list is dropped down, the
same completion + selection takes place when you close the list.

You can also press up or down arrow in the edit box to get the same
effect without the list being dropped down. If you press again (or if
there wasn't a match in the first place) you just cycle through the
list values.
