Description

Settings imported from IDE 12.4
Project is fine with IDE 12.4
Project compiles without errors in 12.4 and 12.5

With 12.5, getting problems in the editor and in the Projects window as follows:

On the following source code:
final List<EvaluatedCandidate<CgpNetwork>> evaluatedPopulation = this.populationAccessibleEvolutionEngine.getEvaluatedPopulation();

I get a red error hint:
incompatible types: List<Object> cannot be converted to List<EvaluatedCandidate<CgpNetwork>>

---

(Alt-Enter shows hints)
and in the Project window, the project is marked red.

The relevant source code:

private final PopulationAccessibleEvolutionEngine<CgpNetwork> populationAccessibleEvolutionEngine;

The above code has parameterized type CgpNetwork as seen below:

public class PopulationAccessibleEvolutionEngine<T> extends GenerationalEvolutionEngine<T> implements EvaluatedPopulationAccessible<T> {

In Project settings:
Sources, Source/Binary Format: 1.8
Build, Compile, Java Platform is JDK 14 (Default)
