Find Usages not working if overriding methods use SObject and List<SObject>

public class Outer {

     public class TLV {

        public void validate(SObject so, Boolean b1) {
            validate(new List<SObject> {
                so
            }, b1);
        }

        public void validate(List<SObject> so, Boolean b1) {
            System.debug(' ');
        }

        public void validate(SObject so, Boolean b1, Boolean b2) {
            validate(new List<SObject> {
                so
            }, b1, b2);
        }

        public void validate(List<SObject> so, Boolean b1, Boolean b2) {
            System.debug(' ');
        }

        public void validate(SObject so, Boolean b1, Boolean b2, Boolean b3) {
            validate(new List<SObject> {
                so
            }, b1, b2, b3);
        }

        public void validate(List<SObject> so, Boolean b1, Boolean b2, Boolean b3) {
            System.debug(' ');
        }

        public void validate(SObject so, Boolean b1, Boolean b2, Boolean b3, Boolean b4) {
            validate(new List<SObject> {
                so
            }, b1, b2, b3, b4);
        }

        public void validate(List<SObject> so, Boolean b1, Boolean b2, Boolean b3, Boolean b4) {
            System.debug(' ');
        }

    }

    public class TLVUser {

        public TLVUser() {
            Content__c myObj = new Content__c();

            TLV t = new TLV();
            t.validate(myObj, false);                    // GOOD
            t.validate(myObj, false, true);              // GOOD   
            t.validate(myObj, true, true, true);         // NOT GOOD
            t.validate(myObj, true, true, true, false);  // NOT GOOD

         }

    }
}

With something that looks like the above: The ones marked GOOD work as expected, the ones marked NOT GOOD behave as below. I titled this FindUsages but it's not just Find Usages, but also the editor

1) The editor doesn't show the t.validate(...) as if it recognizes the method, ie: It's just white and not colored like a method. 2) Ctrl clicking the method t.validate(...) will show the 2 methods like it doesn't know which one to jump to. 3) Find Usages on the TLV method that takes a single SObject, shows no usages found.

So we have a methods like the one that takes the 3 booleans. I started this example with just one boolean, then thought to myself, I better check it in IntelliJ. That's when I realized the first two work.

So as long as you only have not more than 2 booleans, it works. Weird.

Let me know if you need anything else.
