Escape not returning to normal mode from insert mode

[olegkamuz]

1. Enable Vim exstension.
2. Open any text document.
3. Properly move cursor using Vim movement keys.
4. Enter Vim edit mode by pressing 'i' or 'a' etc., and type some text.
5. Press 'esc' to return to Vim movement mode.
6. Vim does not return to movement mode as expected, but remains in edit mode.

I have remapped(switch) esc with capslock in ubuntu terminal in xev hitting capslock gets me "keycode 66 (keysym 0xff1b, Escape)", and my capslock button works as esc(and switching in normal mode) flawlessly in original vim, in vim mode on pycharm and idea.

I have been getting this recently as well without updating other settings. I ensured I had not re-mapped extension.vim_escape.

Downgrading the extension does not seem to help.

UPDATE: I'm dumb and had accidentally mapped my Escape key to focusing VSCode in KDE Plasma. I must have been trying to escape the keyboard shorcut editor. This perfectly prevented my escape key from having any effect within VSCode without affecting the rest of my desktop experience.
