Description
Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (choose one):
Bug
What happened:
Going past long line in visual select mode will auto-scroll to the end of a long line, moving the viewport, and also not moving it back once you've gone past that line
What did you expect to happen:
For it not to scroll to the end of the line, but keep the viewport where it is
How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):
Go into visual-select-mode (C-v)
Go past long line which expands past the screen with j,k. It scrolls to the end of the line automatically.
Environment:
- Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 0.10.0
- VSCode version: 1.20.1
- OS version: OS X 10.13.1

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in VSCodeVim using VisualBlock mode (C-v) and j/k across a line longer than the viewport. Verify that moving past the long line does not shift the viewport to the line end and that the viewport remains stable afterward.
