bug: AvanteEdit doesn't work

[andyl]

Describe the bug

Using Xubuntu 22.0, Neovim 0.10.4, and Lazy package manager. I tried with Avante 0.0.12, 0.0.18, 0.0.23.

When I select a visual range, and type :AvanteEdit, it doesn't work. Sometimes I get an error message "E481: No range allowed". Sometimes I get an error message "No visual selection found". Sometimes nothing happens. I try to invoke the command many times in a row. Something is broken.

To reproduce

1. Select a range of text.
2. Enter ":AvanteEdit"

Expected behavior

It works.

Hasn't worked for me for a long time. Just deletes the contents of wherever I ask it to edit something.

Hi, I confirm it works. Opens a window "Avante edit selected block" with pre-filled text that I typed after the command and <C-s>: submit. Thank you. (fyi now I am hitting I think this bug https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/33224 , but it is related to neovim 0.11, works fine on 0.10.4)

[andyl]

Confirm - seems to work now. THANK YOU @yetone

Same here. I too have issues while trying to edit. It just removes the selection. VIM v0.11.2
