Compiler version

3.5.0, same behavior in 2.13.14

Minimized code

The following code does not print Hello outer

object outer{ println("Hello outer") object Foo } object Test{ def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = println("Hello " + outer.Foo) }

But if I wrap the object outer in a trait, it does print Hello outer

trait wrapper{ object outer{ println("Hello outer") object Foo } } object Test{ def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = { println("Hello " + new wrapper{}.outer.Foo) } }

Expectation

I would expect the initialization behavior of nested objects to be consistent regardless of whether or not they are wrapped in traits
