This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.

Create new C# project (I targeted .NET 6)
This creates a new style project with no "class" or "namespace"
Delete content and paste in this:

static void X(string s)
{
s = s.Trim();
}

Select the "s = s.Trim();" line and Ctrl-. to refactor and choose Extract Method

You get a build error

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error CS8421 A static local function cannot contain a reference to 'NewMethod'. ConsoleApp32 C:\Users\danmose\source\repos\ConsoleApp32\ConsoleApp32\Program.cs 4 Active
Message IDE0062 Local function can be made static ConsoleApp32 C:\Users\danmose\source\repos\ConsoleApp32\ConsoleApp32\Program.cs 7 Active

It should make the new method static.
