Description

Bean-style references to static trait property in static scopes fail with unresolved variable errors.

This works:

trait T {
  static p = 1
}
class C implements T {
  static m() {
    setP(2)
    setP(getP() + 1)
    return getP()
  }
}
C.m()​

This fails:

trait T {
  static p = 1
}
class C implements T {
  static m() {
    p = 2 // Apparent variable 'p' was found in a static scope but doesn't refer to a local variable, static field or class
    p += 1
    return p
  }
}
C.m()​
