Moving a method may introduce a behavioral change by disabling an overloading 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create the classes
public class A {
  public C c;
  public long k(int a) {
    return 2;
  }
  protected long k(long a) {
    return 1;
  }
}
public class B extends A {
  public long test() {
    return super.k(2);
  }
}
public class C {
}
2. Apply the move method refactoring to move k(int) to C.
public class A {
  public C c;
  protected long k(long a) {
    return 1;
  }
}
public class B extends A {
  public long test() {
    return super.k(2);
  }
}
public class C {
  public long k(int a) {
    return 2;
  }
}
3. The transformation changes behavior. After the transformation, the test() method returns 1 instead of 2
