sympy >=0.7.0 : 0.7.5 (OK)
pylint >=0.25 : 1.3.1 (OK)

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. If | is the cursor position, put this in a new file:
   import numpy
   num|py
   1. Activate autocompletion, the file content is now ( bug1 ):
      import numpy
      numpy|py
   2. Press Ctrl+Z to undo the change, the file content is now:
      import numpy
      |py
   3. Press Ctrl+Z again, the file content is now ( bug2 ):
      import numpy
      num|py

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

bug1 : I expected the end of the word not being repeated, so that the file content would be
import numpy
numpy| bug2 : I expected that a single press on Ctrl+Z would undo the whole completion instead of having to cancel twice.

Please provide any additional information below

.
The two bugs are independant but closely related so I reported them together.

Erf, bug1 and bug2 were not supposed to be links...

Thinking out loud...

We could get the completions as usual, then check the remaining characters. If any of the completions contain the remaining characters, we advance the completion position and use those completions.
