IDE0009 when using new in list initializers

[jeremyVignelles]

Version Used: VS pro 15.8.3

Steps to Reproduce:

This code shows the error:

                var test = new List<string>
                {
                    new string('c', 2)
                };

Expected Behavior:
I'm not using a field, this is not relevant here

Actual Behavior:

IDE0009 : Add 'this.' ...

The quick fix does nothing.

@jeremyVignelles as I know it is already fixed in master. But it isn't ported to 18.x version (or even in 19.x).
I hope that it will be ported to 18.x because it breaks "use 'this'" rule (especially with new formatting rules.)

@jinujoseph Another report of this issue. Still on hte list to consider porting back to 15.8?
