For a Banach space \( X \) and a weak\(^*\)-dense norm closed subspace \( P \) of its dual \( X' \), the authors denote by \( \mathcal K \) the set of all absolutely convex weak\(^*\)-compact subsets of \( X' \). Then \( S \) is defined as the set of all continuous linear functionals \( x^* \in X' \) such that \( x^* \) is in the weak\(^*\)-closure of \( K \cap P \) for some \( K \in \mathcal K \) satisfying \( K \subset P \oplus \text{span}\{x^*\} \). A positive and a negative result about completeness of \( X \) in Mackey topologies is shown. The positive result is: If \( X \) is complete in the Mackey-topology \( \mu(X,P) \) and \( Y \) is the norm closure of \( P \oplus \text{span}(S_0) \) for some subset \( S_0 \) of \( S \), then \( X \) is complete in the Mackey topology \( \mu(X,Y) \). The negative result is a converse, namely: If \( x^* \in X' \setminus S \), then \( X \) is not complete in the Mackey topology \( \mu(X, P \oplus \text{span}\{x^*\}) \). These results extend work of \textit{J. Bonet} and \textit{B. Cascales} [Bull. Aust. Math. Soc. 81, No. 3, 409--413 (2010; Zbl 1205.46004)].
