Qscintilla box with auto-completion text can be larger than available space in screen #590

This is very possibly an issue where we cannot really do much about it within Mu, but it would be worth investigating it, in case there is something that could be configured in this area, or perhaps raise a bug in the respective library.

The Qscintilla auto-completion box that appears with the docstrings can be larger than the available space on the screen, and so its contents can be obscured.

This is a gif showing Mu at the edge of the monitor (there isn't any more screen space at the right of the gif), and can easily happen when the Mu window is maximised in a monitor with a low resolution, like in a Raspberry Pi:

@carlosperate You're on fire this afternoon! Wow! :-)

I'm about to do family things for the rest of today, but will be all over these issues tomorrow.

As always, thank you!

This one was found by Andy (@SouthendTech on twitter, not sure if he's on GH), who is also helped test Mu before the 1.0 final release :)
