Migrated from AB#967428.

Visual Studio Version: 15.9.15 onwards (possibly earlier)

Summary:

If a project references another project both directly and indirectly (transitively) then the direct project reference appears with a warning icon.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Create three .NET Standard class library projects
  2. Make ClassLibrary1 reference ClassLibrary2
  3. Make ClassLibrary2 reference ClassLibrary3
  4. Everything looks fine
  5. Add a direct reference from ClassLibrary1 to ClassLibrary3 and save the project
  6. That new dependency appears with a warning. The project builds without error.

Expected Behavior:

No warning.

Actual Behavior:

Warning.

User Impact:

Confusion. Not a very likely scenario as the bug has existed for a long time and we've only just had it reported.

This should fall out of work I'm doing for #3435. Nope. This doesn't apply to transitive references.
