Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with editor.action.smartSelect.expand in a multi-line selection, then press d or y and trace how the VSCodeVim extension handles the resulting selection. Done means Vim operators preserve the full smart-expanded selection instead of dropping it and returning to the original cursor position.
