The cursor went down one line when I press Down

Research direction
Start by reproducing the AutoCompletion overload behavior in Notepad++ with a custom language definition and multiple parameter overloads. Trace the overload popup's up/down navigation and keyboard handling. Done means Up and Down select adjacent overloads without moving the editor cursor, while the existing mouse arrows continue to work.
