I don't have IntelliJ right now, but as far as I remember this function shows only line where selected method is called. I meant something more sophisticated, every piece fo code that could be affected by this.

Example:

    int x = obj.something();
    unrelated.doSomethingElse();
    return x * x;
If I change something() method IntelliJ will show only the first line, even though the third one is affected by the change as well.


I see. Like a trace of properties affected by a change. That's definitely possible using static analysis during a pre-commit hook.

You're right IntelliJ IDEA doesn't provide that feature out-of-the-box. SonarLint does something like this but only for specific patterns (or rather anti-patterns). I don't know about a general purpose tool that does this though.
