After deleting content in curly braces di{ it always pastes it above cursor

It should paste it under cursor by default. And above if Shift + p was used

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):
Type this commands inside curly braces di{p

{
  // some code
  // another code
}

Research direction

Reproduce the reported sequence di{p in VSCodeVim using the supplied curly-brace example, then trace how deletion and paste placement are handled for this text object. Compare the default paste behavior with Shift + p, and consider the issue resolved when the deleted block pastes below the cursor by default and above it with Shift + p.
