Autocompletion includes too much

[spaceotter]

When I complete with completing-read, the suggestions are like this:
getJSONArray(String name) : JSONArray - JSONObject
and that actually gets inserted into the file, when only getJSONArray should be inserted. The extra information is helpful, but is not a part of the actual symbol.

Are you using auto-complete-mode, or company-mode? It's not really a fix, but look into company-mode, there exists a backend implementation that actually works.You can find it here:

I'm using company-mode and experience this too. Can't reliably reproduce it though.

Although, when I complete functions with arguments, the argument types are always included like this:

setContentView(View view)

I also have this issue, however I am not sure the bug is including the arguments. When using company mode with C# I get the same kind of completion, but the arguments fields are editable.

For example:

completion with arguments:

editing arguments(tab to next)

For the record, I was using auto-complete mode. I switched over to company-mode awhile back and IIRC the problem went away.

I was using company-mode when this happened to me.

Turning on yas-minor-mode gives the behavior in my comment. I believe that it should complete like that when yas-minor-mode is active and autocomplete without args when it is not.
