Error in quick fix for java:S1319 when using methods from NavigableMap/Set

Clean Code Report False-positive / False-negative...

In intellij (with sonarlint 8.5.1.7509 connected to Sonarqube 9.9.0.65466) the quick fix for

public void foo(TreeMap<Object, Object> map) {
	map.lowerKey(new Object());
}

is to replace TreeMap with SortedMap, but lowerKey is not a member of SortedMap. The fix should suggest NavigableMap, which declares the method. The equivalent problem exists for lower with TreeSet.
