VS Code Vim copies (yanks) everything I select, without pressing y

Describe the bug

Any time I select anything (visual mode) whatever I last selected is automatically in my clipboard, as if I yanked it (by I never yanked it).

To Reproduce

1. Open any file.
2. Select text in visual mode.
3. ctrl+c to exit visual mode
4. press p, and it will paste whatever you just selected, even if you did not yank it.

Expected behavior

Selecting text should not automatically copy stuff into clipboard.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Extension (VsCodeVim) version: v1.21.10 (2021-10-14)
• VSCode version:

Version: 1.62.3 (user setup)

Additional context

This happens even on fresh VS Code installs in Windows or Linux. This default behavior does not match Vim, and not desirable.

Start by reproducing the issue in VS Code with the VSCodeVim extension: enter visual mode, select text, exit with Ctrl+C, and press p. Trace the visual-selection and yank/clipboard handling involved; done means selecting text no longer changes the clipboard and p pastes only explicitly yanked content.
