Duplicate popups when adding a custom ParameterInfoHandler
I'd like to override the default parameter info UI for Python files.
For this, I've experimenting with a custom ParameterInfoHandler implementation. This isn't using the default HintManager / yellow bubble popups.
The implementation is called, but the custom UI is displayed in addition to the default popup so that both popups are shown. I think that it's caused by this: https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/blob/master/platform/lang-impl/src/com/intellij/codeInsight/hint/ShowParameterInfoHandler.java#L115 .
Is this a bug or intentional?
Is there a guideline how ParameterInfoHandler should be used?
Notably, the implementation when a lookup is present is only using the first handler and thus different to the implementation when no lookup is shown: https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/blob/master/platform/lang-impl/src/com/intellij/codeInsight/hint/ShowParameterInfoHandler.java#L103

This case has been probably just overlooked, as no one yet tried to override parameter info. This has been changed in master now (targeting 2020.1 release), so that only the first suitable handler will be used.
Thank you, Dmitry!
