I tried it (logged out and back in) and it does not
change anything.  Same behaviour.

It is interesting there are different behaviours:

# L<Tab>
LabPlot       LibraryLocal
# cd Desk<Tab>  (expanded to Desktop, so it worked)
# L<Tab>
LabPlot       LibraryLocal
# List<Tab> (Beeps everytime a Tab is hit, but no list is given)
