Description

Issue Type: Bug

My esc key is mapped to jj and it works fine in many cases but i have a file where in the following things are written:

faajjkjldjflksafj;ljjfjskaljjjjjj:kdkdjjjjjjjjbbjjjldsfljjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj

jjjjjjjjjj

when i press jj at the end of third line to go into escape mode, VSC becomes unresponsive. If i press jj somewhere else in the same file then it works fine.

Research direction

Compare pressing jj at the end of the third line with other locations, then identify the handling path responsible for the unresponsive state and verify that the reported reproduction no longer hangs.
