Description novakm 2007-09-19 15:12:57 UTC 
I have an existing method:

  public int existing(int a, int b)

After invoking Introduce Method on code marked with asterisk
        int a = 0;       
        int b = 0;     
*       int c = a+b;
it creates method with signature

  public int existing(int b, int a)

without any warning that I already have function with same signature...

Comment 1 Daniel Prusa 2008-02-19 14:32:24 UTC 
A method which of signature matches an existing method can be produced also by Change Signature refactoring, it should
report warnings too. 
The code is not compilable, on the other hand, the change is only local and the conflict can be easily detected by the
user, I think, this is P4.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.
