Description
Describe the bug
- System: Windows 10 1903
- Vscode Plugins: VscodeVim, Auto Rename Tag
- Vscode Version: 1.36.0
bug:
-
type the following code in a line will likely freeze your keyboard but you still can move caret with arrow key.
<% if(get_config('toc') === true && (post.layout === 'page' || post.layout === 'post' )) { -
You will get stuttering when you type to the third "==="
-
You can still move your caret when you get stuttering
-
You can only produce the behavior when you installed both vim and auto rename tag extensions
Actually I'm really confused how it would work, Are my PC broken...
To Reproduce

- Open Vscode
- Press Ctrl+Shift+P open command line
- Type ext: disable all
- Select
Extensions: Disable All Installed Extensions
- Go to Extensions
- Install vim and auto rename tag (both should be enabled)
- Create a new file named "test"
- In the file, press i enter the vim insert mode
- Type the following code (! Can not ignore spaces)
<% if(get_config('toc') === true && (post.layout === 'page' || post.layout === 'post' )) {
Expected behavior
When reach the third "===" stuttering would occur
- you can continue type but it feel lag and stutter
- when you finished and press backspace produce the same behavior
- you may can't type any word but you can still move your caret with arrow key

Research direction
Start by reproducing the stuttering on Windows 10 1903 with VSCodeVim 1.8.1 and Auto Rename Tag 0.1.0, using the exact code and spaces described. The issue names no source file or test; done means typing and backspacing that sentence no longer causes severe stuttering while both extensions are enabled.
