IntelliJ 14 EAP 139.1.20 has problems to understand a Scala generated static bridge method. While javac is perfectly happy with it

java.java

package com.example;

public class Problem {
  {
    Thing<String> x1 = ThingJava.make(); // expected, works

    Thing<String> x2 = ThingScala.make(); // false red code, is also a static method, java's inference should work
    // Javac is happy with this and compiles properly, yet idea panics with:
    //     Incompatible types:
    //     Found: Thing<Object>
    //     Expected: Thing<String>
  }
}

class ThingJava {
  public static <T> Thing<T> make() {
    return new Thing<T>();
  }
}

javap.txt

$ javap Thing 
Compiled from "Thing.scala"

public class com.example.Thing extends java.lang.Object{
    public static com.example.Thing make();
    public com.example.Example();
}

scala.scala

package com.example

class Thing[T]

object ThingScala {
  def make[T]() = new Thing[T] // as this is a comapnion object of Thing, it will generate static bridge methodsin class Thing
}
