I can reproduce this under regular (NON-student) version 5.1.1 under
Windows XP Professional (SP2), except that:
(a) I see the entire "Command Completion" in the title bar of the
pop-up window;
(b) the second pop-up window seems to be the same size as the
original one.
That both windows disappear after you select the command is no surprise,
however.
