Problem with Autocomplete suggesting methods instead of types
This behavior started in the middle of a workday, not after an update or anything unusual.
Am running:
IntelliJ IDEA 2017.3 (Ultimate Edition)
Build #IU-173.3727.127, built on November 27, 2017
JRE: 1.8.0_152-release-1024-b6 x86_64
JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o
Mac OS X 10.13.1
What causes this behavior, and how can I stop it?
I have tried invalidating caches and restarting, to no avail.
Then I deleted the ~/Library/Caches/Intellij2017.3, /Library/Logs/Intellij2017.3//Library/Application_Support/Intellij2017.3, /Library/Preferences/Intellij2017.3 files.
That didn't work.
So I deleted all of the Intellij files from my project folder, and created my project all over again.
That also did not work.
I do not want to override Object.toString, I do not want to make private getter methods.
Here are screenshots of the undesired behavior:

Is your caret in the Insert mode? Press Insert again.
My caret is not in Insert/Overwrite mode.
To confirm that, I set up a keyboard shortcut for keyboard insert/overwrite mode in the keymap section of the Intellij properties. I then tried those same strings in both modes. The behavior was identical.
Can't reproduce. Please report at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IDEA with the logs (https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/articles/207241085) and a short video attached. Also attach your config (File | Export Settings).
Also try 2017.3.1: http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/index.html.
I'm trying the update now.
The update does not resolve this issue.

A workaround for some of the issues is to set:
Preferences > Editor > Code Style > Java > Code Generation > Default Visibility
By setting it to the visibility I use least, I only run into the getter method issue when making "protected" fields.
The Object.toString suggested override remains when making public fields.
