Description
Describe the bug
Suppose I have two lines, each of them has fewer words than the "vim.textwidth". When my cursor is on the first line, if I press "gq+j", the two lines can not be joined, but rather whitespace will be placed before the second line.
To Reproduce
- Set vim.textwidth to some value (I use 35)
- Type two lines, e.g.
- Put the cursor on the first line and then press "gq" then "j"
- Result:
Expected behavior
After pressing "gq+j" it should become
Environment (please complete the following information):
- Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 1.21.7
- VSCode version: 1.58.0
- OS: Windows 10
Additional context
This bug should be caused by update 1.20.2.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with vim.textwidth set to 35, two short lines, and the gq then j sequence. Compare the result with the expected joined text, using the reported VSCodeVim 1.21.7 and VS Code 1.58.0 environment as a reference. Done means gq+j joins the two lines without inserting leading whitespace.
