Description

The following code will fail:

static void foo() {
    new LinkedList() {
        int index
        Object get(int i) { super.get(index++) }
    }
}

The error is:

Apparent variable 'index' was found in a static scope but doesn't refer to a local variable, static field or class. Possible causes:
You attempted to reference a variable in the binding or an instance variable from a static context.
You misspelled a classname or statically imported field. Please check the spelling.
You attempted to use a method 'index' but left out brackets in a place not allowed by the grammar.
 at line: 5, column: 39

But obviously, index is not accessed from a static context here.
