* imported functions are not overwritten by functions of the same name

When I type tf.tuncated ,the server show out the deprecated formation of the function truncated_normal just as the picture shows:

I cleanly remembered one of the previous versions of the python-language server can complete all the options of this functions to be choosed by users ,so I am confused very much that whether it is a bug or the problem of my computer.Can any body help me? Thank you very much the version of my tensorflow is 1.12.0 ,my hardware is macOs mojave 10.14

Are you saying that this function shouldn't show up at all? What behavior are you expecting here?

No man，I mean the server show the wrong formation of this function with the wrong parameters which has been already deprecated by tensorflow, the right parameters is truncated_normal(shape, steddv,mean ....) ,it is totally different with that picture,and it is really not convenient.

Following the definition back, the function that we're finding is in gen_random_ops.py, which looks like:

def truncated_normal(shape, dtype, seed=0, seed2=0, name=None):

But we should be finding the one in random_ops.py, which looks like:

def truncated_normal(shape,
                     mean=0.0,
                     stddev=1.0,
                     dtype=dtypes.float32,
                     seed=None,
                     name=None):

This is because random_ops.py, does:

from tensorflow.python.ops.gen_random_ops import *

So gets the first function, but the redefinition doesn't seem to have occurred.
