Description
Originally reported by: siddhanathan NA (Bitbucket: siddhanathan, GitHub: siddhanathan)
I tried emulating emacs' open rectangle in Evil. This would be yPgvr in Vim. But in Evil, gvr selects the rectangle including the copied text.

Reproduce the yPgvr sequence in Evil and compare its result with Emacs' open-rectangle behavior. Start by locating the gvr command, then verify that the rectangle selection excludes the copied text when the behavior is corrected.
