Auto completion on Linux/Wayland/Sway #2405

Description

I'm trying HeidiSQL on Sway/Wayland and I'm having trouble getting it to work well. Perhaps this is a side-effect of Sway, or I'm misunderstanding the feature.

Out-of-the-box, the autocompletion opens a new window which totally makes the layout move around. But I could workaround that with Sway config like this:

for_window [app_id="heidisql" title="Completion"] floating enable, resize set 400 250, move position center

Now I at the very least get the auto completion window as a popup in the middle of the screen. However, either I'm using the feature wrong or something else doesn't work with selection. I'd assume that I would be able to select something and press a button like TAB to have it disappear and complete the word. But while I can search in the window, use arrows and enter to select a word, the auto completion window itself would close. I literally have to use the kill command (MOD+SHIFT+Q is a common shortcut).
