Number of selected characters is wrong in vim linewise visual mode

Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it
When selecting a line with V, all the characters of the line should appear as selected in the status bar. Instead, "1 character" is shown, and that number is changed when moving horizontally.
Environment
Zed: v0.131.6 (Zed) OS: macOS 14.4.1 Memory: 32 GiB Architecture: aarch64

Hey @hferreiro - I'm not very familar with Vim - but I'm not able to reproduce this on my end, given the actions I assume you took. Can you explain how you are selecting the line once in visual line mode?
@JosephTLyons just press shift+v. That will enter visual mode with the whole line selected.
I am able to reproduce your issue. That character count is if the number of characters between when you started the selection and your current position (like a traditional cursor selection). The character count should instead reflect the displayed selection.
