Description
Please let me know if anybody knows a solution or bypass.
in real vim, if I select "Test Word" from the cursor T using 'vw', it will take 'Test ' as my block
but in Vscode Vim it will take "Test W"
In the same way, if I want to select just one or line,
I do 'vjy'
but in vscode vim, it takes an additional character below the line.
some people can say that just do 'v$' but jumping back and forth to vim and vscode environment, this is so bugging issue.

Research direction
Reproduce the visual-mode behavior in VSCode Vim using vw on “Test Word” and vjy on a line, then inspect the visual selection handling for these commands. Done means the selections match real Vim without requiring v$ or including an extra character below the line.
