In the Qt console with the default paging, long lists of tab completions activate the pager. This can confuse new users, and requires an extra keystroke before you can continue typing. Since the tab completions are cleared away anyway, we can just treat long tab completion lists the same way as short ones, and use the scrollbar to look through them.

For bonus points, we could even filter the list of completions down as the user carries on typing.
