What effect is that?

Are you sure there are multiple completion candidates in the buffer?  If
there's only one candidate in the buffer, `dabbrev-completion' will
immediately complete the word without bringing up a "*Completions*"
buffer.  That would look like the same thing `dabbrev-expand' does.

You can check which key Emacs thinks you pressed and which command it
called by invoking `view-lossage' (bound to "C-h l").
