Description
### Description
Here is my example for overwriting *setEnabled* from a simple JButton.

If I start searching by typing *setEnabled* the method is not found like in the sample screenshot, this works only if at first I open the class - folder where this method is defined. That's quite annoying since most of the time I do not know in which superclass this method is.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the method search with JButton.setEnabled while the defining superclass folder is closed. Trace the method-search behavior to determine why closed class folders are skipped; done means searching for setEnabled finds the method without first opening its defining class.
