vscode 1.12.0, c# extension 7439ef4 commit (after 1.9.0 release) - same behaviour.

This is by design. We suppressed this message in the PR to #1231. Eventually, we hope to have faded code support in VS Code so we can provide this information a bit more unobtrusively (microsoft/vscode#20219 tracks this).

Note that the light bulb still appears and works if you move it to an unnecessary using, but we will no longer spam unnecessary using diagnostics.

At least don't agree with removing the wavy underline in the editor for those unnecessary using directives! without those signs in the editor so we cannot spot them anymore, would u expect us to move the cursor each line by line in each .cs file to find out unnecessary using directives?! this change makes the Remove Unnecessary Usings totally useless.

I appreciate your passion @cateyes99! Unfortunately, VS Code doesn't make it possible to remove the item from the Problems list (which many complained about) while keeping the squiggle in the editor.

If you like, you can file an issue (or submit a PR) to make this behavior optional. And, eventually, I hope we'll have the ability to fade code as I mentioned before to make this behave more like it does in Visual Studio (in VS, we fade unnecessary using directives but don't just the message in the Error List).
