Insert Mode: Cursor position problem when you switch to a different pane which has the same file

[chibicode]

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (choose one): BUG REPORT

What happened: On insert mode, when you switch to a different pane which has the same file open, change cursor position, and come back to the original pane, original cursor position is not retained.

What did you expect to happen: Original cursor position is retained.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

bug demo

1. set insert mode
2. create a new pane showing the same file
3. make sure both cursors are at line 1
4. go to the different pane
5. move cursor to a different line (say line 5)
6. come back to the original pane
7. cursor should still be at line 1
8. press down arrow
9. expected: cursor should go to line 2
10. actual: cursor goes to line 6
11. this is not a problem in normal mode

Environment:

• Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 0.12.0
• VSCode version: 1.24
• OS version: macOS 10.13.4

I found a similar-sounding issue from almost 2 years ago, but I'm not sure if this issue is still relevant. #789

Sounds like #2688

@jpoon sorry my search query didn't return that issue because I included "insert mode", as it didn't happen on normal mode for my case. I'll close this.
