Different behavior recording vs executing macros

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? : Bug

What happened:

When recording macros, the behavior of the command w is different during recording than it is during execution. For instance, if you have a string and want to jump to the beginning of the word, during recording you have to press w twice to jump to the ' and then the beginning of the word. However, during execution the first time w fires the cursor goes straight to the beginning of the word, so the second recorded w will move the cursor to the next word and throw the entire sequence out of position.

How to reproduce it:

start with [ 'string', ] and cursor at the beginning

1. qa
2. w (cursor moves to ')
3. w (cursor moves to s)
4. yw w l l p
5. q

during recording that yields ['string', string], but when you call it with @a it yields [ 'ststringring', ]

I think the problem is the ' character. When the example above executes, the w commands in steps 2 and 4 don't jump the cursor to ' like they do during recording.

Environment:

• Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 0.11.5
• VSCode version: 1.22.2
• OS version: OSX 10.11.6

Start by reproducing the reported macro sequence in VSCodeVim 0.11.5 on the shown input, comparing recording and execution of the w motions around the apostrophe. Trace the macro recording and replay entry points to identify why motion behavior differs; done means the recorded sequence produces the same result during replay.
