Works for me from 'emacs -Q' (emacs 24.5, lucid toolkit):

- M-x semantic-mode
- eval '(setq semantic-complete-inline-analyzer-displayor-class 
'semantic-displayor-tooltip)'
- Load empty file 'test.c' and insert

void foo();
void foo2();

int main()
{
  fo
}

- Put cursor behind 'fo' and do M-x semantic-complete-analyze-inline.

I mean I cannot choose completions with the keyboard with up/down. But
this is a problem with how it is done in CEDET, which was never my cup
of tea, but I also didn't work on it because as I said, I found it to be
too slow to display in the first place (that was years ago though, and I
guess it also depends on the toolkit, plus I often times worked over a
remote X connection).
