   Reporter:  mmezzarobba  |       Owner:  somebody
       Type:  defect       |      Status:  new     
   Priority:  major        |   Milestone:  sage-4.4
  Component:  categories   |    Keywords:

---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 On the following example, tab completion suggests ``sum``, which is not an
 attribute of ``R``.

 {{{
 sage: R = QQ['t']
 sage: R.su
 R.sum                               R.summation
 R.summation_from_element_class_add
 sage: R.sum
