Description

The issue seems appears for class file that has "use" statement that has first part of namespace and imported class file the same (MyTest in the following examples). I will describe some strange cases which happen when inclusion of such class name is used. In the following examples resolved/unresolved means class file can or cannot be navigated to in NetBeans using Ctrl-B key binding. Content of included files does not matter.

 
1. With that contents TestHistory is not resolved:

<?php

namespace MyTest\Controller;

use MyTest\Entity\MyTest;
use MyTest\Entity\TestHistory;
use MyTest\Entity\TestOne;
use MyTest\Entity\TestStatus;
use MyTest\Entity\TestTwo;

class TestController
{
}

2. Adding comment in line with "use MyTest\Entity\MyTest;" makes TestStatus not resolved but others resolvable:

<?php

namespace MyTest\Controller;

use MyTest\Entity\MyTest;   // test
use MyTest\Entity\TestHistory;
use MyTest\Entity\TestOne;
use MyTest\Entity\TestStatus;
use MyTest\Entity\TestTwo;

class TestController
{
}

3. Using "declare(strict_types=1);" makes TestOne not resolved:

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace MyTest\Controller;

use MyTest\Entity\MyTest;
use MyTest\Entity\TestHistory;
use MyTest\Entity\TestOne;
use MyTest\Entity\TestStatus;
use MyTest\Entity\TestTwo;

class TestController
{
}

4. Placing strict types declaration right after opening php tag makes only TestTwo not resolved:

<?php declare(strict_types=1);

namespace MyTest\Controller;

use MyTest\Entity\MyTest;
use MyTest\Entity\TestHistory;
use MyTest\Entity\TestOne;
use MyTest\Entity\TestStatus;
use MyTest\Entity\TestTwo;

class TestController
{
}

5. Commenting strict types declaration with single comment makes any imported class after line with "use MyTest\Entity\MyTest;" not resolved:

<?php

//declare(strict_types=1);

namespace MyTest\Controller;

use MyTest\Entity\MyTest;
use MyTest\Entity\TestHistory;
use MyTest\Entity\TestOne;
use MyTest\Entity\TestStatus;
use MyTest\Entity\TestTwo;

class TestController
{
}

6. Adding multi line comment before "use MyTest\Entity\MyTest;" also makes any imported class not resolved (but behaved differently during previous checks yielding only to some classes resolved and some not):

<?php

/**
 * 
 */

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace MyTest\Controller;

use MyTest\Entity\MyTest;
use MyTest\Entity\TestHistory;
use MyTest\Entity\TestOne;
use MyTest\Entity\TestStatus;
use MyTest\Entity\TestTwo;

class TestController
{
}

There could be other combinations possible but I'm not gonna try every possible scenario as weird behavior is proven to be reproducible.
