i'm back from finishing my thesis and i'm awed by the massive progress over the last few months. i'm particularly fond of the terminal 2-process frontend, which is super-useful to me. alas the greedy completer is not working properly in this mode. if i start a console session with greedy on, and then run
```x = [0, 1, 2]
x[0].im
```
it will autocomplete `imag`, but the next line will be
```x[0]x[0].imag```
which is obviously not right. this problem (rightfully) does not occur in the 1-process terminal or the qtconsole mode.

i remember this being an issue before in previous versions of ipython, but with the new structure i cannot see yet where this bug arises and how to solve it. best to ask an expert...
