Description

It appears that when Angular compiles using a recent version of Babel's plugin-transform-class-static-block, with the Webpack builder, the output is transformed in such a way it breaks existing code.

Angular code compiled and bundled with @babel/[email protected]:

let CodeEditorWidget = class CodeEditorWidget extends _base_common_lifecycle_js__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_5__.Disposable {
  static #_ = CodeEditorWidget_1 = this;
  static #_2 = this.dropIntoEditorDecorationOptions = _common_model_textModel_js__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_27__.ModelDecorationOptions.register({
    description: 'workbench-dnd-target',
    className: 'dnd-target'
  }); //#endregion
  get isSimpleWidget() {
    return this._configuration.isSimpleWidget;
  }
  get contextMenuId() {
    return this._configuration.contextMenuId;
  }
  constructor(domElement, _options, codeEditorWidgetOptions, instantiationService, codeEditorService, commandService, contextKeyService, themeService, notificationService, accessibilityService, languageConfigurationService, languageFeaturesService) {
    var _this;
    super();
    _this = this;

   // Omitted for brevity
};

let CodeEditorWidget = (class CodeEditorWidget extends _base_common_lifecycle_js__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_5__.Disposable {                 
  //#endregion
  get isSimpleWidget() {
    return this._configuration.isSimpleWidget;
  }
  get contextMenuId() {
    return this._configuration.contextMenuId;

  constructor(domElement, _options, codeEditorWidgetOptions, instantiationService, codeEditorService, commandService, contextKeyService, themeService, notificationService, accessibilityService, languageConfigurationService, languageFeaturesService) {
    var _this = this;
    super();

    // Omitted for brevity

  static #_ = _staticBlock = () => (CodeEditorWidget_1 = this, this.dropIntoEditorDecorationOptions = _common_model_textModel_js__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_27__.ModelDecorationOptions.register({
    description: 'workbench-dnd-target',
    className: 'dnd-target'
  }), this);
}, _staticBlock());

The workaround, which you will also see explained in the attached reproducer, is to override the version of the Babel's plugin to 7.27.1.

I don't understand why, and under which circumstance, that plugin is injected into the compilation process.
