Description
I am using version 2.0.4 and it appears that currently the completion for the input_dialog doesn't have any effect.
When using code like the following:
path = input_dialog(title="Generate report",
text="Please enter the output path",
completer=PathCompleter(expanduser=True))
I can insert the path normally, theres no error, but no completion window appears. The same happens when trying to use a word completer.

Research direction
Start with the input_dialog API and its completer parameter, reproducing the example with PathCompleter(expanduser=True) and a word completer. Trace why completion suggestions are not shown, then verify that both completer types produce a visible completion window without errors.
