Popups that cover a would-be autocompleted word prevent it from being autocompleted properly

[mooreye]

Example - create a file like so:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

foobar = "string"
len()

then type f inside the () and press Ctrl+N (or Tab if using supertab plugin). It will complete fo instead of foobar, probably because the popup covers the line with foobar and Neovim doesn't see it. It looks like this:

Workaround is to set autocmd FileType python setlocal completeopt-=preview but is it possible to still have popups and autocompletion work correctly?
