BUG REPORT

Environment:

• VSCode Version: 1.170
• VsCodeVim Version: 0.10.1
• OS: macOS Sierra 10.12.5

What happened:
When selecting words backwards via arrow keys, copy/pasting does not work (only last selected character gets copy/pasted).
This happens in insert and command mode, but does not happen when selecting text backwards via the mouse. This bug is there for minimum ~2 months and is not related to the newest version.

What did you expect to happen:
The whole word "Foo" gets copy/pasted

How to reproduce it:
For example, we select the word "Foo" backwards (starting at the second o) via SHIFT+LEFT-ARROW-KEY until we reach "F". Then CMD+C/CMD+V and it only pastes in the letter "F". This behaviour does not happen when selecting from "F" to "o".

This seems to be a duplicate of #1951 and should be fixed with #2062.
At least for insert mode.

I believe this is indeed fixed @DanEEStar .
