Description
Describe the bug
I used to be able to enter visual mode, search for a particular string using search mode, to anchor a selection, and resume fine-tuning the selection in visual mode (i.e. I could start in visual mode, enter search mode and return to visual mode, without having to re-type 'v').
I could have imagined it, but I think I was using Vimium like this for several months before I noticed a change.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Enter visual mode (v)
- Enter search mode (/)
- Type a search string and press either return or escape (You're now kicked out of visual mode)
Browser and Vimium version
Chrome version: 91.0.4472.114
OS version: macOS Version 11.4

Research direction
No source file or test is named. First reproduce the behavior using the listed visual-mode and search-mode steps, then trace the search-mode exit handling; done means returning with either Return or Escape keeps visual mode active so selection editing can continue.
