Going through the steps from comment 0 I can't reproduce the bug. When I hit Cmd+T the devtools are not opened on the new tab ( hence, the autocomplete pop-up is not shown).
Can you tell me if you're still able to reproduce the bug ? Thanks !

The devtools weren't opened at the time this bug was filled, the autocomplete pop-up remained opened in a new tab by himself.

This behavior doesn't reproduce on newer versions, so I'm  marking this as RWFM.
