Description

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: No

- VS Code Version: 1.131.0
- OS Version: Windows 11 Pro 25H2

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Have vim extension installed
2. Update vscode to 1.131.0 which sets "workbench.experimental.modernUI" to true by default
3. Cursor is not movable and mode is not changeable to allow inserting of characters. I would not expect a ModernUI overhaul which is enabled by default to make my editor unusable.

Adding "workbench.experimental.modernUI": false to settings.json resolves the issue.
