Description
### Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 23
### What happened
The "methodToBeRenamed" method is renamed in the "ParentClass" class; Code before refactoring, the body of "testMethod()" method calls the "method()" in the "SubClass" class; Code after refactoring, the body of "testMethod()" method calls the "method()" in the "ParentClass" class; The rename method refactoring has resulted in a change in the method call within the body of "testMethod()" method .
class ParentClass{
void methodToBeRenamed(){}
}
class SourceClass{
void method(){}
class InnerClass extends ParentClass{
void test(){
method();
}
}
}

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the rename-method refactoring in Apache NetBeans 23 using the ParentClass, SourceClass, and InnerClass snippet from the report on Windows 11 with JDK 20. Done means renaming the parent method does not change the method call inside InnerClass.test from the enclosing class's method to the parent method.
