Unable to switch back to normal mode in insert mode

Describe the bug I am unable to switch back to normal mode after pressing ESCAPE in insert mode (default keybinding).

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Press i to start editing file
2. Press Escape to go back to normal mode
3. Stays in insert mode

Expected behavior I expect the plugin would bring me back to normal mode.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 0.15.3
• VSCode version: 1.25.0 (snap package version)
• OS: Ubuntu 18.04

Additional context I partially fixed the problem by changing this

{
    "key": "escape",
    "command": "extension.vim_escape",
    "when": "editorTextFocus && vim.active && !inDebugRepl"
}

to (removing inDebugRepl check)

    {
        "key": "escape",
        "command": "extension.vim_escape",
        "when": "editorTextFocus && vim.active"
    }

Setting "keyboard.dispatch": "keyCode" fixes this issue for me when I’m using a remote Linux desktop. This may help: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/Keybinding-Issues#troubleshoot-linux-keybindings

Sounds like we have a resolution?
