if sub class overrides a super class's method which contains a generic paramter when I search the workspace or invoke open call hierarchy on the sub class's method, the search does not find it

example:

super class

MySuperClass<T> {
protected void myMethod(final T parm) { }
private void test() {
this.myMethod(null);
}
}

MySubClass
@Override
protected void myMethod(Object parm) { }

when I search for callers of MySubClass.myMethod the search does not find
MySuperClass.test

If I remove the generic parameter from the signature, it will be found correctly.

I'm using 3.6
