Description
Hi,
We'd like to report a few issues with typeahead and IPython. Feel free to point this to the right project itself (prompt-toolkit? IPython?).
The period after the tab causes the tab to be ignored:
time.sleep(8)<ENTER>IPython.cor<TAB>.
The parenthesis after the tab does something weird, autocompleting empty string:
time.sleep(8)<ENTER>np.arang<TAB>(
The ENTER after the tab causes the tab to be ignored:
time.sleep(8)<ENTER>IPython.cor<TAB><ENTER>.
Everything after the xx line is ignored:
time.sleep(8)<ENTER>xx<ENTER>yy<ENTER>.
I can make gifs of the others, but I thought this showed it clearly:

Research direction
Reproduce the four typeahead sequences described in the issue, including the period, parenthesis, ENTER, and post-line cases, using prompt-toolkit and IPython. First determine whether the behavior belongs to prompt-toolkit or IPython; done means these inputs are no longer ignored or replaced unexpectedly.
