Adding a cursor in multi-cursor mode does not scroll the window

Describe the bug If you have a long file (longer than one window) and you add cursors with “gb”, at some point it will start selecting words that are out of the window.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. write a file with a lot of identical lines

foo
foo
foo
...

1. go on a “foo”
2. press “gb” multiple times

Expected behavior Each time I press “gb”, a new “foo” should be selected, and when a foo that is out of the window is selected, the window should scroll.

Obtained behavior The window scrolls the first time only, but when a selection is more than half a window away from the first cursor, the window will focus on the first cursor and “gb” will keep selecting things out of the window.

Environment:

• Extension Name: vim
• Extension Version: 0.16.1
• OS Version: Linux x64 4.17.0-1-amd64
• VSCode version: 1.26.0

I’m having the same issue and it seems to be affecting the process of manually adding multiple cursors by Alt+Clicking to add a cursor as well. When I attempt to add an additional cursor that requires scrolling out of view of the first cursor, the screen jumps back to the first cursor when I click, but the cursor is placed after the screen moves, placing it close to the first cursor, making it impossible to place the cursor where I want it to be.

Installation Details: Windows 10 version 1803 VSCode 1.30.2 Extension Version 1.0.1

I suppose it’s fixed, because in 1.14.5 it works as expected, at least on Windows 🎉
