will this break the autocomplete when typing the OS name?

With the current version, if you start typing the OS name it will
autocomplete the suffix (e.g. if you type Fedora, you will see the list
with all the supported Fedora versions).

IMO, the new behavior is better when using the mouse but it makes
slightly more difficult to find the desired OS when using the keyboard.
