Research direction
The report names no source files, tests, or entry points. Start by reproducing the Microsoft Pinyin prompt-bar movement on Windows 11 with VSCodeVim enabled, comparing VS Code 1.70.0-insider against the disabled-extension behavior. Done means the prompt bar remains fixed while VSCodeVim is enabled.
