Vim Block Selection Rendering Improperly

[iamrecursion]

Steps to reproduce

1. Ensure that you have vim mode active.
2. Press ctrl+v to enter visual block mode.
3. Press j a few times to expand the block downwards.
4. Press l a few times to expand the block horizontally.
5. Hit c and notice that even though the selection isn’t rendered, it behaves as if it is there.

Expected result

The scope of the visual selection is rendered properly.

Actual result

The visual selection is not rendered, only the current caret position is.

Can reproduce, occurs not only with block selection, but with multiple cursors in general

As far as I can tell, any kind of multiple selections is affected, eg by trying to making a second selection via alt+select or by using a “expand selection” command from advanced cursors or code editor shortcuts

I’m on mobile so I can’t really type that much rn, but I think any kind of multiple selections is affected, eg by trying to making a second selection via alt+select or by a “expand selection” command from advanced cursors or code editor shortcuts

In addition to the block selection not rendering properly, the block selection actually breaks when your cursor moved beyond current screen (causing scrolling).

This is fixed in 1.3.
