So, that would be a client-side JavaScript based feature.  So:

Does this happen with a clean profile for your current browser?
Does this happen with an alternative browser?  (eg: Chrome if you use Firefox,
or whatever)

My guess is that you installed something (GreaseMonkey?  NoScript?  Ad
blocking sofware?  A filtering proxy?) that is breaking the completion process
and all - or perhaps frobbed some configuration setting.

Really?  Personally, I think this is like the occasional thing that happens
where someone comes along and claims that the Linux kernel must be
fundamentally broken because their code isn't working:

If it was really broken for something so widely used you wouldn't have *any*
trouble finding out about it.  The Internet would be *full* of people
complaining that GMail was broken like that - so that says it is something
about your client-side configuration.  To me.

Well, you get what support you pay for.  OTOH, their support forums do have
staff watching them, so it won't /hurt/ to put in the request there.
