Status:DUPLICATE OF 8446920 Resolved:
Product:Xcode Product Version:9.2
Classification:Bug Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
When two methods have similar signatures, auto completion does not provide enough information to distinguish those two methods. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the attached project.
2. Open `ViewController.m` in Xcode
3. In `viewDidLoad` type in `[self am` and wait for the auto completion.

Expected Results:
Auto completion lets distinguish between the two methods. (Xcode 6 or so did insert a preview into the editor. That was perferct!)

Actual Results:
It's not possible to distinguish the two methods in the popup. Only solution is to select one of the suggestions and see if it is the correct one.

Version/Build:
Version 9.2 (9C40b)
