Description

Hello, I just upgraded to MacOs Catalina and I'm having some issues using the dictation on Macvim.

I'm using the 8.1.2234 Macvim version and when I start to dictate, after some lines, Macvim automatically deletes the previous lines and what I get in the end are the last sentences. This is my first attempt of using dictation in Macvim so I can't tell if before MacOs Catalina the issue was still there.

Research direction

Start by reproducing dictation in MacVim 8.1.2234 on macOS Catalina and verify whether earlier dictated lines disappear after several lines. The issue names no files or tests, so identify the dictation or text-input entry point before determining what behavior should be changed.
