Description
Unable to apply recorded macros to selected lines.
Macros is working fine(stored in q), selection is correct, but when I hit : in visual mode and execute '<,'>norm! @q nothing happens.
Editor just returns to normal mode and removes selection.
Expected result: Macros q should be executed on each selected line
Actual result: Nothing happened
- Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 0.10.13
- VSCode version: 1.19.3
- OS version: MacOS 10.13.1

Research direction
No source file or test is named. First reproduce the Visual mode command '<,'>norm! @q in the VSCodeVim extension, then trace how selected-line commands and recorded macros are handled. Done means macro q executes on every selected line instead of returning to Normal mode without changes.
