When using refactoring to change the name of an argument in a method with the Apply Rename on Comments option set, the javadoc of arguments with the same name but belonging to other methods are also changed. The expected behaviour is that only the javadoc for the method being refactored would be affected.
Refactoring searches only for strings in comments and offers all matches to be renamed, this needs to be improved by analyzing javadoc tags.
