Description
BUG REPORT
What happened
After a few selections are added, the screen's scroll position stays the same, it just flashes as selections are added, so you can't actually see each selection that's added as you can without VSCode Vim enabled.

What did you expect to happen
Environment:
- Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 1.23.1
- VSCode version: 0.12.0
- OS version: Windows 10

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in VSCode with VSCodeVim enabled, adding multiple selections and observing whether the viewport follows each selection. Compare the behavior with VSCodeVim disabled; done when the screen visibly scrolls to each newly added selection instead of only flashing.
