notebook autocomplete fail when typing number

[piti118]

Similar to #1696 this is what happen

def aab(): pass
def aa2b(): pass
def aa2bb(): pass

aa<TAB>

this shows both all of them
but when I type 2 I expect it to display 2 and the list should shrink to only the last two. However, what happen is the list disappear but 2 doesn't appear on the code cell.

This should be fixed when #1711 is merged, which bring a brand new completer.
But we might want to have a fix for a potential 0.12.2.

just in case here is a patch :

Note : I added a label backport 0.12.2 If we ever want to have one.
