Overload resolution between outer scope and inherited scope fails

[martijnhoekstra]

Minimized code

abstract class A {
  protected[this] def m(): Int = 1
}

object B {
  private def m(i: Int) = 2
  private final class Composite() extends A {
    def test = m()
  }
}

Output

Reference to m is ambiguous,
it is both defined in object B
and inherited subsequently in class Composite

Expectation

Compilation to succeed, like in scala 2

workaround: this.m()

That particular change is intentional: #8622, sorry I didn't realize this is what you meant on gitter.
