Research direction
Reproduce the issue in VSCodeVim 1.27.3 by yanking a line with yy and pasting it with p, including after clicking in another file. Trace the paste handling and cursor-position updates; done means the cursor lands at the start of the pasted line rather than at the last mouse-click location.
