Description
Describe the bug
If another tab gets focus and it's on a different Vim mode, line mode becomes wrong.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Open two new tabs and add some empty lines to them
- Leave first tab on normal mode, second tab on insert mode
- Change from first to second tab (Ctrl+PgDown)
Expected behavior
Line mode should be absolute, but it is relative
