I am trying with

remove_comma=(-r '[:alnum:] \t\n\-')
_values -O remove_comma -s , categories :message:'(aa bb cc)'

but all I get for completion is
func <tab>
func =<cursor>

instead of the string I have inserted as possible completion

I've tried also
_values -O remove_comma -s , categories \
:message:'(aa bb cc)'

to the same result
