Vim: VIM 0.11.6 multi cursor bug with commands in normal mode

[jsonMartin]

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (choose one): BUG REPORT

What happened: When using multiple cursors in 0.11.6, issuing commands (such as cw to change word) causes all additional cursors to disappear after the original command. In prior versions, this worked perfectly by leaving the additional cursors where they were, to continue typing. ciw (change inner word) seems to work better with multiple cursors with 0.11.6, but cw does not work at all in multi-cursor mode.

Here's what it looks like with the bug in the newest 0.11.6 release:

What did you expect to happen: The added cursors should remain. I downgraded to 0.11.5 and this behavior works as intended there; this is what it looks like when it is working properly:

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible): Add extra cursors using the mouse to multiple words, and issue the cw command. Notice how all additional cursors are gone except the first one, and typing only will replace the contents of the first cursor's position.

Environment: Mac OS

• Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 0.11.6
• VSCode version: Latest Stable (not insiders)
• OS version: Mac OS

This is the only relevant change that I found: https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/commit/dbb842d3406e4852e2e26231c22a70857ee44dd3#diff-a7723f32fe6b05e135838f84e5c23c0f

@jpoon reverting that change fixes it, so perfect find!

Will look to see if there is a solution to both...

Great, thanks for finding the needle in the haystack @jpoon !

Since I'm such a multiple cursor fiend, I'll stay on 0.11.5 until this is remedied 😁
