           Summary: Long extension method names are not resolved with
                    "protection level" error
    Classification: Mono
           Product: Mono: Compilers
           Version: 2.4.x
          Platform: i686
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: C#

The following code fails to compile:

public static class MessageFails
{
    public static MailMessage ParseMailMessage(this string raw)
    {
        var email = new MailMessage();

    // error CS0122: `System.Net.Mail.MailMessage.ContentTransferEncoding' 
        // is inaccessible due to its protection level
        var transferEncoding = email.ContentTransferEncoding();
        return email;
    }

    public static TransferEncoding ContentTransferEncoding(this MailMessage
email)
    {
        throw new NotSupportedException();
    }
}

However, if the extension method name is shortened, it resolves just fine:

public static class MessageWorks
{
    public static MailMessage ParseMailMessage(this string raw)
    {
        var email = new MailMessage();
        var transferEncoding = email.ContentTransfer();
        return email;
    }

    public static TransferEncoding ContentTransfer(this MailMessage email)
    {
        throw new NotSupportedException();
    }
}

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
error CS0122

Expected Results:  
Compilation succeeds.
