Yup... I made sure it was built correctly, but I figured out the
problem (incorrect user expectation). I thought the popup would appear
as soon as I started typing, so if, for example, I typed "s", all
protocol names starting with "s" would appear and so on and I didn't
wait to put "protoname.". It works as designed. Sorry for the noise!
