> actually the compiler should issue a compiling error as local variable `i` is being accessed from a static context. Please review this fix to address this issue. Some notes:

> `com.sun.tools.javac.comp.AttrContext.staticLevel` keeps a the number of nested static contexts but this calculation doesn't consider static type declarations. This is because static declaration doesn't introduce a static context. But if they have a static modifier, even if implicit as it is for local records, then this affects what variables, type variables, etc are accessible from the body of the static type declaration. For this reason I have used an `adjusted` static level that takes static type declarations into account.
