I set bbdb-use-pop-up to nil (as you can see below) and yet when I
press TAB to complete a unique "To:" field in Gnus (Gnus v5.10.2) I
still get a bbdb buffer that pops up. When I set bbdb-use-pop-up to
nil I expected just that.

I therefore changed the following "if" statement in bbdb-com.el (line
2249) from the original:

---BEGIN PASTE OF ORIGINAL CODE---

        ;; Update the *BBDB* buffer if desired.
        (if bbdb-completion-display-record
            (let ((bbdb-gag-messages t))
              (bbdb-display-records-1 match-recs t)))
        (bbdb-complete-name-cleanup)))

---END PASTE OF ORIGINAL CODE---

To this version:

---BEGIN PASTE OF MY MODIFIED CODE---

        ;; Update the *BBDB* buffer if desired.
        (if (and bbdb-completion-display-record    ;; (and added ...
                 bbdb-use-pop-up)                  ;; check for pop-up added
            (let ((bbdb-gag-messages t))
              (bbdb-display-records-1 match-recs t)))
        (bbdb-complete-name-cleanup)))

---END PASTE OF MY MODIFIED CODE---

Note that this means that the *Completions* buffer still appears
regardless of bbdb-use-pop-up, as should be. But if the completion is
unique and bbdb-use-pop-up is nil then the user does not get an
unwanted pop-up.

I noticed that this not the first time this exact issue has been
raised from this forum thread:
