Description Bauke Jan Douma 2013-02-14 15:26:13 UTC 
GtkEntryCompletion, when the completion minimum is 1 (i.e. matching starts
as soon as one key is hit), where the liststore contains uppercase strings,
will not EVER match those strings.

A custom matcher function will not work; the entry string (consisting of
one letter, see above) is folded to lowercase BEFORE it even reaches your
custom matcher function (that's the bug right there probably).

Consequence (example):
In a list of these words: "kool, Variety, zebra", when entering a 'V' or
a 'v' (surprise!), 'Variety' will erroneously NOT be 'found' (i.e. matched).
