Description

Describe the bug
yank/delete the first sentence of a paragraph (yis/dis) includes the empty line above the paragraph.

To Reproduce
Below is an example paragraph:
How are you doing?

Yank/Delete this line with yis/dis. But it also copies/cuts the above empty line. There is no issue with the other sentences.


And the result I got with 'dis' (on Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04):
How are you doing?
But it also copies/cuts the above empty line. There is no issue with the other sentences.

Expected behavior
The expected result for the delete operator:
How are you doing?

But it also copies/cuts the above empty line. There is no issue with the other sentences.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in VSCodeVim using the paragraph and yis/dis commands described in the report, including the empty line before the first sentence. Trace the sentence text-object and operator handling; done means the first sentence no longer includes that preceding empty line while other sentences retain their current behavior.
