LSP contextual method help and completion dialogs overlap, former obscuring the latter

[aral]

Summary

Encountered in a JavaScript project: the LSP contextual method help and auto-completion dialogs overlap. The former covers the latter, making it impossible to see the full list of completions.

(The method help is mostly getting in my way and keeps popping up again even after pressing ctrl-c sometimes as I continue to enter arguments into a method call.)

Reproduction Steps

Please see screenshot.

Workaround

Press ctrlc to hide the method help dialog.

I'm having the same problem on windows 10, windows terminal, helix 22.08.1 (5b73c8c).

z-z or z-b shortcut for changing view avoids this problem.

Sometimes I can move the view around to get vision on the completion, but other times, I'm too close to the top of the buffer. In many cases, I can't even see whether there is a completion dialog until I hit Ctrl-n to start looking through them.

This is especially frustrating when passing a Rust closure into a function, because the outer function's help is always shown, sometimes even covering the code that I am actively writing.

Ctrl-C can help by dropping the contextual help, though. I wasn't aware of that.
