Thank you for the information!
remapped the ac-expand now. There is just one more annoyance: When the completions popup-menu gets displayed, for every line that has an org-style *heading, the completions line drawn over it starts just with the first letter and then an ellipsis "..."
I try to present an org snippet for an example:
#+BEGIN_org-sample
* first heading
--- popup-menu starts here ---
cobra
c...
c...
c...
c...
computer
connection
--- popup menu ends here ---
co<point>
some more text
#+END_org-sample
All lines in the popup menu that start with c..., would be real completion candidates, which get folded away because of underlying folded org-headings.
Any ideas on this?
