Description

Describe the bug
Hi.
I have a bug with vim in vscode.
After i expand a tag with emmet, i got a visual mode, and cursor is placed at the begin of the line.

Here is cursor and visual mode https://i.imgur.com/LSgfznS.png

Expected behavior
After i expand a html tag, go to insert mode, and place cursort between tags.

And, yes, i found a reason to switch to version of vim 1.16, and it works, but i want to use last version.

Reproduce the behavior in the VS Code Vim extension by expanding an HTML tag with Emmet and observing the resulting mode and cursor position. Trace the tab-expansion path, then verify that expansion enters insert mode with the cursor between the tags.
