Hm... I have "google" in the suggestions, not "Google".

Unfortunately, now I can't reproduce my issue with calendar reliably.
However, there are some things that I noticed:
  * the problem appeared right after update
  * there was only one browser window with many tabs
  * there problem disappeared in new window

I also tried unsubscribe/subscribe on the calendar command feed and
restarting the browser, but it didn't help to reproduce the problem.

Thanks for the explanation. Now I agree that tab completion and
choosing from suggestions are different actions. I never had to cycle
through suggestions before I stumbled upon this issue. The problem was
that I got stuck at the top choice and completion didn't help to get
out, plus, the list of suggestions was rather odd. However, I
personally would prefer Ctrl+N/Ctrl+P instead of arrow keys.

So, I think the main issue is the list of suggestions, which seems
rather confusing sometimes. For instance, when I type 'g', the 'get
weather' is the top suggestion and Tab does not change anything, so
that I have only what I already typed in the command line. But when I
type 'ge', 'search with Ubuntu Package Search' (one of my search
engines) is on the top and Tab changes my 'ge' to 'Ubuntu Package
Search'.
