[severity:Other]
Detection of IDE0059 Remove unnecessary value assignment is not working when the statement is within a try/catch block. I have an .editorconfig file with the following dotnet_diagnostic.IDE0059.severity = error, and when the offending code is in a regular method it works fine, but when the offending statement is moved into a try/catch it no longer detects the issue. This detection also doesn't seem to work with top-level statements.
