Description

Describe the bug
d-a-p has peculiar behavior when the cursor is above non-empty lines in the file

To Reproduce

A file with the following contents:


test1
test2

Place cursor on the first line, and run d-a-p.

It removes the final line only:


test1

Expected behavior
I'm not sure exactly — should it remove the whole paragraph or nothing? It definitely shouldn't behave as it does now though.

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 1.16.0
  • VSCode version: 1.48.2
  • OS: MacOS

Research direction

The issue names no source file, test, or entry point. First reproduce the d-a-p behavior with the shown blank-line and paragraph contents, then inspect the paragraph-motion and delete handling; clarify whether the expected result is deletion or no change before defining a regression test and considering the work done.
