I havn't looked recently, but IIRC the autocomplete uses a GTK treeview inside the autocomplete popup rather than a list or menu, you can look in the Scintilla GTK platform code to check. AFAIK the autocomplete substitution happens inside the Scintilla editing widget code. Scintilla is a separate project from Geany and has other users, so any change proposal would need to be raised there, probably with code.
