Smells like an oversight. I guess the compiler doesn't see the
delegate as a member of a Control subclass, so it can't access
protected members. Private works because private in D means
module private.
Please file an issue. As a workaround you can try to take the
address of the method in the closure (untested):
void delegate() foo()
{
auto func = &super.someProtectedFunc;
return () => func(); // I think this will work
}
Quoting the document: "protected only applies inside classes (and
templates as they can be mixed in) and means that a symbol can
only be seen by members of the same module, or by a derived
class."
So protected also means module visibility.
