Description

Describe the bug

After using the plugin for a few seconds, I get a saving participants notification on the status bar and then I can't type anything in the file. I can type in the command prompt, terminal, and in the extensions box.

To Reproduce

  1. Change normal mode keybinding to 'jj'
  2. Go to any file, switch to insert mode, and type anything.
  3. Switch back to normal mode with 'jj'.

Expected behavior
I should be able to continue using vim without having the refresh the window because it freezes.

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • Extension (VsCodeVim) version:
  • VSCode version: 1.12.4
  • OS: macOS mojave 10.14.6

Research direction

Start by reproducing the freeze with the reported jj normal-mode mapping, then compare keyboard input in a file with the command prompt, terminal, and extensions box. Trace the extension behavior triggered by the “saving participants” status notification. Done means file input continues without requiring a window refresh.
