      FULL PRODUCT VERSION :


      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      the code fails to compile
      {code}
      interface StubElement<T>{
          T getPsi();
      }

      abstract class StubElementBase<T> implements StubElement<T> {
          @Override
          public T getPsi() {
              return null;
          }
      }

      abstract class MyStubbedElement<T extends StubElementBase<?> & Runnable> {}

      {code}

      error message: Error:(14, 33) java: getPsi() in aa.StubElementBase cannot implement getPsi() in aa.StubElement
        return type capture#1 of ? is not compatible with capture#2 of ?

      BTW

      if we would omit Runnable in type parameter declaration, then the code would compile. Moreover if StubElementBase<T> would be an interface with default method, then the code also would compile.
