    patch 9.0.0883: a silent mapping may cause dots on the command line

    Problem:    A silent mapping may cause dots on the command line.
    Solution:   Don't show dots for completion if they are not going to be removed
                again. (closes #11501)

+Note that the effect of a command might also be silenced, e.g., when the
+mapping selects another entry for command line completion it won't be
+displayed.
 Prompts will still be given, e.g., for inputdialog().
 Using "<silent>" for an abbreviation is possible, but will cause redrawing of
 the command line to fail.
