Intellij parameter name hints are broken if you don't fill them all correctly on the first write (which never happens)

Here's the scenario: I have this method that takes 15 arguments, and I want to invoke it. I start typing the method name and, joy, a list of parameter hints show up.

I type them all in succession, then suddenly I need to add a line break because I can no longer see anything due to parameter hints breaking autoscrolling and automatic line breaks, I accidentally mistype and add a line break at the wrong place (say before instead of after a comma).

Parameter hints are now gone forever on this particular method call, and I now have to manually check all my arguments through the javadoc popup. It doesn't happen all the time, but often enough to irk me.

Is there a shortcut or a way to force those parameter hints back, outside of deleting the entire call and starting over?
