That's not correct, both Stefan and me commented on this earlier.

My opinion is that there is no need to show visually that there are more 
candidates, most (all?) other programs I use never do that, they just 
display a list of candidates, and it becomes clear that there are no more 
candidates when the list shrinks after enough input.

Stefan's opinion is that one could add a visual indication at the end of 
the candidate list, which means that when one does _not_ see that 
indication there are more candidates.  It's a "non-ellipsis" if you want, 
a "this is the end" indication.  For example:

Find file: a[]
aaa
abb
acc|

(where [] represents the cursor and | the end indication).
