Description

Describe the bug
I use :[line-number] to move around. :0 in vi typically jumps to top-of-file line 1. In Vscode vim the cursor jumps to line 1 but the view does not change. When I take an action that moves the cursor hjkl, THEN the view jumps to top-of-file.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1 - open a long code file (longer than the screen)
2- go down far enough to scroll the top lines off the screen. Bottom-of-file is fine
3 - :0 to jump to top-of-file, observe the cursor is disappeared (jumped to line 1) but view does not jump
5 - i for insert mode, observe the view does not jump
6 - move the cursor by typing hello, observe the view jumps to top-of-file

Expected behavior
:0 moves the cursor and the view to top-of-file

Screenshots
I can demonstrate on a short video if necessary

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 1.25.2
  • VSCode version:1.81.1
  • OS:darwin x64 22.6.0

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with a long file by using :0 after scrolling away from the top. Trace the :[line-number] command handling and compare the view update for :0 with a cursor move; done means the view reaches the top immediately after :0, including when entering insert mode. No source file or test is named in the report.
