In the IDLE program for Python 3.3.2, I've run across a situation where the tab key is not working.  I have attached a file that shows everything in IDLE's console.  At the very end of the file, you can see where I have typed in the word "queue" in IDLE without pressing enter.  At this point, if I press tab, nothing happens.  If I press space and then tab, suddenly it'll work just fine.  But then if I delete all the spaces and tabs and just go back to having nothing more than "queue" on the line, with no trailing whitespace, suddenly tab will go back to not working.

I think this patch should fix the bug.

There is simpler test case. Just enter "flo" and press <TAB>. Twice.

LGTM. I manually tested it by assigning "aaaaa = 1" and then pressing tab at after "a", "aa",  "aaa", and "aaaaa", and then pressing tab afterwards. Tab works to complete the name, and then afterwards when it has been replaced with "aaaaa".
