In the following code the editor displays the warning "Throwable method result is ignored" at the commented line although that's not true.

private String test() {
    try {
      throw new RuntimeException();
    } catch (RuntimeException e) {
      Throwable cause = e.getCause(); // <- Warning
      return "Error: " + (cause == null ? "null" : cause);
    }
  }
