What can I say? it doesn't work here, neither on MS-Windows nor on
GNU/Linux, with this recipe:

  emacs -Q
  C-h f completion TAB TAB TAB TAB TAB

(I have to type TAB 5 times before I see the end of the buffer, which
has 135 lines and shows 131 completions.)

Btw, it is strange that your screenshot shows the candidates which
start from completion-auto-select (here the list starts with
completion--cache-all-sorted-completions instead), and doesn't show
the heading of the *Completions* buffer ("Click or type M-RET...").

Did I use a wrong recipe or something?
