Description
This happens in visual + line visual + caret mode. It doesn't happen in normal mode.
When you press for example 10e instead of moving forward to the end of a word 10 times, the caret moves at the start of the line and moves to the end of the word once.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Vimium's visual, line visual, and caret modes by pressing 10e, then compare it with normal mode and the expected repeated movement. Trace the key handling for counted word-end motions and confirm that counts ending in 0 move forward the requested number of times without resetting the caret position.
