Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the Python editor with autocomplete enabled, using a long snippet like the one shown in the screenshots. Locate the autocomplete window's sizing and overflow behavior, then verify that full snippets are visible without reducing the font size, either by adapting the dimensions or allowing horizontal scrolling.

Description
micro:bit support #24390 and #24511
Hi, when I use the Python editor to code with the autocomplete function on, I often find the autocomplete field too short to see everything.
Here's a screenshot of a case where -I think- what I say is clear:
The partial solution I have found is to reduce the fontsize (with the "-"), and I see this:

Anyway, I think it would be great if you could adapt the autocomplete dimensions according to the text shown so that no zoom is needed to "solve" that.
Another possible solution woul be so allow the windo to scroll sideways to view the entire snippet
