Description
When a single file has several problems of the same type, the compiler offers us to apply a solution on all similar problems. For example, with missing @Override annotations:
However, in the following example:
interface A {}
class B {
B(A a) {
getQ1();
getQ2();
getQ3();
}
}
we don't have "fix 3 problems of the same category in file".
Furthermore, selecting all similar problems in the Problems view, right clicking, and selecting Quick Fix (ctrl-1) shows the following dialog for the @Override example:
But for my example with the missing methods, you get a message saying that there's no common quick fix:
There are common quick fixes. The dialog should be shown with the 2 options shown above (create a method and cast) under "Select a fix".
Using Eclipse 4.31.

Research direction
Reproduce the missing-method example in Eclipse 4.31 and compare it with the @Override case, including Quick Fix from the Problems view. Trace the common quick-fix selection path for the selected diagnostics; done means the dialog offers the shared create-method and cast fixes instead of reporting no common quick fix.
