Research direction
Start by reproducing Chinese character input on VSCodeVim v1.22.2 with VSCode v1.67 on macOS 12.4, using the linked recording as the symptom reference. Trace the extension's handling of text input and editor updates; done means the text before newly entered Chinese characters no longer flickers.
