Description

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

BUG REPORT

What happened:

At times, when I start typing a word, & intellisense popsup, the cursor will jump back a character.

ex. whne typing Search I end up with earchS

What did you expect to happen:

I expect Search to be displayed.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

Unfortunately, I can't reliably reproduce this. However it happens often enough, that I thought I should file an issue.

Generally, just start typing where intellisense is activated. I think it happens most often when quickly going to insert mode & typing. I'll pay closer attention and see if I can determine a way to reliably reproduce this and report back

when running running the Running Extensions cmd, I noticed that the vim extension has 60 uncaught errors, but I'm not sure how to get the logs for these errors. There may be hints inside ??

Environment:
osx

  • Extension Version: 0.10.13
  • OS Version: Darwin x64 16.7.0
  • VSCode version: 1.19.3

Start by reproducing the issue in the VSCodeVim extension while entering insert mode with IntelliSense active, using the described Search sequence and checking Developers: Show Running Extensions for errors. A useful result would identify reliable reproduction steps and confirm that typed characters remain in the expected order.
