Suppose you have 
a(String str); and 
a(SomeInterface s);

when you write 
a(new InterfaceImpl());

select new InterfaceImpl() and use quick assist 
'create class InterfaceImpl()' - 
it will show a create class dialog with superclass field set to java.lang.String, which is wrong, because it should be interface SomeInterface, as String is final, so it is a call to a(SomeInterface s);

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
