I am trying to see relevance here, maybe I miss something. The
built-in completion does not replace the window which I am looking it.
It may make its visible part somewhat smaller, but not replace it.
Then I change buffers in those windows. Apart from being made somewhat
narrower, windows are not replaced by completion.
And I did not even use completion. I was entering information on minibuffer.

I have not ever see that in built-in Emacs completion. But maybe it exists.
I have seen completion poping up new window, but not replacing or
deleting other window.
