Description

Describe the bug

Multi-cursor doesn't work for multi-page. (By "page", I mean the code that fits on my screen.)

To Reproduce

  • Go into Insert Mode
  • Click at first line
  • Alt+Shift at last line several pages down

Expected behavior

I expect to have a multiline cursor spanning several pages, but it snaps back up to the first page and only multi-cursors a few lines.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in VSCode with VSCodeVim v1.14.1 on Windows 10: enter Insert Mode, click the first line, then use Alt+Shift at the last line several pages down. Confirm that the multiline cursor should span all selected lines instead of snapping back to the first page and covering only a few lines.
