Bug Report

When using a decorator on a class method with the same name as a type used in its return type, and the method is decorated with a decorator that spans multiple lines, an error is thrown.

What puzzles me is that this only causes an error if the decorator spans multiple lines, not if it is just on a single line.

Neither pylint nur flake8 do complain about having a method that shadows another name in general. So I am assuming that this should be generally ok.

To Reproduce

class Foo:
    @property
    # the existence of this comment triggers the error
    def int(self) -> int:
        return 0

Some more examples show that this

• The error occurs in any situation where the decorator starts more than one line before the function definition.
  • with a blank line in between
  • with a comment line in between
  • with a multi-line argument decorator (this is the case where I initially encountered it when using @deprecated.
• The error occurs with both built-in decorators (@property) and custom defined decorators.
• The error occurs both with built-in types and imported types.

Expected Behavior

Use the types from the outer scope to construct the return type and validate correctly.

Actual Behavior

error: Function "__main__.Foo.int" is not valid as a type  [valid-type]
note: Perhaps you need "Callable[...]" or a callback protocol?
