evil-undo (`u`) unaligns the cursors

[duianto]

evil-undo (u) unaligns the cursors, undo (C-/) keeps them aligned.

Reproduction steps

With multiple words in a buffer.

abcdef
abcdef
abcdef

• In evil normal state, create evil-mc cursors on all occurrences by pressing: grm The cursors appear at the end of the words.

abcde[f]
abcde[f]
abcde[f]

• Move back the cursors to the left twice: hh

abc[d]ef
abc[d]ef
abc[d]ef

• Enter evil insert state: i

abc|def
abc|def
abc|def

• Type a character: x

abcx|def
abcx|def
abcx|def

• Exit to evil normal state: esc

abc[x]def
abc[x]def
abc[x]def

Move the cursors to the beginning of the words: b

[a]bxcdef
[a]bxcdef
[a]bxcdef

Undo: u (evil-undo)

Observed

The real cursor moved to the position where the x was. The fake cursors remain at the beginning of the words.

abc[d]ef
[a]bcdef
[a]bcdef

Expected

The cursors should remain aligned. This behavior is observed when the Emacs undo command is used: C-/ (undo) All cursors move to the positions where the x's were.

abc[d]ef
abc[d]ef
abc[d]ef

The cursors should probably stay where they were when the undo command was called.

[a]bcdef
[a]bcdef
[a]bcdef

Notes

The same behavior is also observed when the words are unaligned.
