Thank you for your example. It is indeed looks like an FP.
Can you please let us know, which version of SpotBugs are you using?

I am not sure how I can verify that - I am using the Eclipse plugin with the version 4.8.4.r202404071625-a86cfd3 - Not sure if that is the version of SpotBugs or the Eclipse plugin or if those two are identical anyways. I found this version under Eclipse -> Help -> About Eclipse -> Installation Details -> SpotBugs / Version column.

That is the plugin release using 4.8.4. Since using eclipse, you could flip over to our snapshots as it's released every day or so. Look at the various eclipse projects to find the update url. That might help find if issues are fixed or not. Some have been. Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>
