Cursor movement in completions buffer is confusing

[Wilmar Igl]

Hi,

if M-x find TAB is used the *completions* buffer opens.
The text faces indicates that cursor behavior will be like in text 
buffers. However, the cursor cannot move within the introductory lines 
at the top and not within the various items, but just from item to item.
This is confusing in my opinion (cf. attachment).

I suggest to indicate the behavior of the cursor by coloring the 
accessible areas in the buffer with white and the unaccessible areas 
with grey.

Best,

Will

PS: I saw that in different contexts that the emacs cursor changes its 
behavior depending on context (which makes sense) without indicating it 
(graphically) on the display (which does not make sense).
