Postion of code completion window

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.See Below

3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

The code completion window appears very close to the text I'm writing, 
sometimes obscuring it slightly. I have searched but can't figure out a way to 
adjust how that window positions itself other than manually resizing it after 
every time it appears. This is a minor problem, but one that consistently bugs 
me. Is there any way to currently solve this problem?

Is it the Vista shadow or the window itself?  Here is the window is positioned 
OK, but the shadow, is over the text.  Maybe I can disable the shadow.

Hi, thanks for the quick reply! 

I think disabling the shadow would definitely help, might even be enough. Would 
also it be possible to move the window down a few millimeters? Or have the 
window remember its last position, so that I could adjust it once and have the 
change persist through the session?

Fixed in version control.  No thick frame with Aero shadows is displayed.  The 
only downside is that the completion window is no longer resizable, but you can 
still set the height in IDE Options.

I think this fix might have broken another behavior:

It seems that the code-completion window now captures the window focus which 
messes up some keyboard shortcuts.

I previously used the CTRL+SHIFT+LEFT_ARROW to highlight, then delete mistyped 
code. However, this no longer works. (Also using CTRL+BACKSPACE in this 
situation does not work.)

Hopefully I can explain the behavior:
import numpy
numpy.zeros <= This is the correct function I'm trying to type

Now, because often my fingers go faster than my brain I'll manage to type this:
numpy.zros

Normally I just CTRL+SHIFT+LEFT_ARROW+BACKSPACE to delete the zros, and start 
again. Now I'm forced to hit ESC to hide the code-completion window and then 
use the keyboard shortcuts.

Please open a separate issue and I will look into this.
