Description

Hi:

I have following Macros:
"execCurSelPy": [
"python.execSelectionInTerminal",
"cancelSelection",
],
But cancelSelection does not seem to work after "python.execSelectionInTerminal". After execution, the selection is highlighted & I sometimes end up loosing selected text by hitting the wrong key.
Is this because I am using VSCodeVim or am I just using wrong cmd? Thanks,

No files or tests are named. Reproduce the macro in VS Code with VSCodeVim and the Python extension, starting with the handling of cancelSelection after python.execSelectionInTerminal. Done means determining whether the selection should be cleared and identifying the relevant behavior or limitation.
