Description

The code

class Super { protected final x = [ ] }
class Sub extends Super { protected final x ; Sub ( ) { x = super.x + [ 'a' ] } }

println ( new Sub ( ).x )

results in the output:

nulla

which implies that super.x has not bound to [] but to null. I suspect the super.x is actually referring to x in Sub.
