vim-mode 'V/foo[enter]' removes selection

editor
vi

retag add tags

Say I want to highlight all lines between my cursor and the string 'foo'. I am accustomed to being able to do one of:

V/foo[enter]

V?foo[enter]

Depending on whether 'foo' is before or after my cursor. The search works, and the selection works, but when I hit [enter] to stop typing my search string and start manipulating the selection, the selection goes away and I'm left back where I started.

That would be very cool. Thank you.

This should be fixed in update 7.2.5.2 when that is available. There are some limitations in our emulation since our underlying editor cannot put the caret in the middle of a selection, but it should select the same things and apply edits in the same way. Please let us know if you see other problems after 7.2.5.2.
