IPython 5.0.0b2 AssertionError from within prompt_toolkit.buffer

[ericdill]

Looks like IPython will crash if have fully typed out the word you want, but try to tab-complete anyway and then you press again to unselect the tab-completion dialog.

Example:

1. type "Import IPython" in IPython
2. press to enable tab-completion
3. press again to unselect the tab-completion
4. press

Here's a console screencast that shows the replication steps for this bug: https://asciinema.org/a/7890yzftp8lzdjzxasrpvdnil

And the stacktrace:
