In GNU Emacs 19.27.1 (rs6000-ibm-aix3.2.5) of Fri Sep 16 1994 on marc.watson.ibm.com

If I use a completions buffer, such as for lisp-complete-symbol, in a
full frame window, the frame is split to hold the completion buffer.
After I select the completion, the completion buffer disappears, but
the frame remains split.

The following advice "fixes" the problem for the normal path.  It
could be done more directly, I suspect, in the base code.

(defadvice completion-setup-function (before jmv-completion activate)
  "save window configuration for later restore"
  (make-local-variable 'completion-window-configuration)
  (setq completion-window-configuration (current-window-configuration)))

(defadvice mouse-choose-completion (after jmv-completion activate)
  "restore window configuration after completion"
  (if completion-window-configuration
      (set-window-configuration completion-window-configuration))
  (setq completion-window-configuration nil))
