Pulling up a method leads to a compilation error: The method is not visible

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create the classes:
package p1;
public class A {
  protected long k(long a) {
    return 3;
  }
}

package p2;
import p1.*;
public class B extends A {
}
package p1;
import p2.*;
public class C extends B {
  public long m() {
    return new A().k(2);
  }
  public long k(int a) {
    return 1;
  }
}
2. Pull up m():
package p1;
public class A {
  protected long k(long a) {
    return 3;
  }
}

package p2;
import p1.*;
public class B extends A {
  public long m() {
    return new A().k(2);
  }
}
package p1;
import p2.*;
public class C extends B {
  public long k(int a) {
    return 1;
  }
}
3. The resulting program does not compile: The method k(long) from type A is not visible

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
