 ### Fixed
 
+* Fix warning 20 ("expression is implicitly ignored") pointing at the wrong range when the last expression in a sequential block (e.g. inside `for`, `while` loops) is non-unit. The squiggle now correctly highlights only the offending expression. ([Issue #5735](https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/issues/5735), [PR #19504](https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/pull/19504))
 * Fix CLIEvent properties to be correctly recognized as events: `IsEvent` returns `true` and `XmlDocSig` uses `E:` prefix instead of `P:`. ([Issue #10273](https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/issues/10273), [PR #18584](https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/pull/18584))
 * Fix extra sequence point at the end of match expressions. ([Issue #12052](https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/issues/12052), [PR #19278](https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/pull/19278))
 * Fix wrong sequence point range for `return`/`yield`/`return!`/`yield!` inside computation expressions. ([Issue #19248](https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/issues/19248), [PR #19278](https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/pull/19278))
