See the attached screenshot for reference.

When I start to type "req" (for the requestFocus() method of JTextField), the editor highlights the first alphabetical suggestion, requestDefaultFocus(). This method is deprecated and, even though the editor recognizes this (as seen by the strikethrough over the method name), it should not suggest deprecated methods for any class.

I am using a Mac, but this probably applies to all platforms.
Comment 1 Svata Dedic 2017-03-09 13:56:23 UTC 
deprecated methods could be perhaps 'deprioritized' in suggestion list ... Dusane ?
Comment 2 Dusan Balek 2017-03-09 14:40:31 UTC 
Deprecated methods should be already 'deprioritized' in suggestion list.
