IDEA-29106 "Unused declaration" global inspection not showing things that local inspection shows

Issue is visible to: All Users

Given the class
public class InspectionTest {
    private void notUsed () {
        Object notUsed = new Object ();
    }
}
I should be able to do an Analyze code->General->Unused declaration and have Idea propose to delete:

- local variable notUsed

…

 - local variable notUsed
 - method notUsed
- class InspectionTest

if I have unchecked all the checkboxes in the global inspection.
However, I am only allowed to delete the class. If the class is referenced from elsewhere, no proposals are found.

If I have all the unused inspection enabled, then In my Editor, it does show that the method and variable are unused.

If I do Analyze->Inspect Code, it tells me that the class InspectionTest is unused and that the variable notUsed is unused. It doesn't tell me that the method is unused. That seems to be a bug.

I'm not clear on your description, because you say "if I have unchecked all the checkboxes in the global inspection" –
wouldn't you see nothing then?
