Thanks for reporting this!

This is due to some of the helpers that vim motions currently use hitting the wrong layer of abstraction (the DisplayMap instead of the Buffer) when moving around. Fixing this will also help with a number of other edge cases around folding and soft-wraps too. I think we can fix this by moving the implementation of chars_at and reverse_chars_at on DisplayMap and providing a compatible API that reads from the Buffer directly.

If you (or anyone'd) like to pair on a fix, feel free to book time: https://calendly.com/conradirwin/pairing.

@ConradIrwin I think this is currently fixed in main, is it not?

[ConradIrwin]

Sadly not. I'm not sure why though, as I thought that would have fixed it.

Will happily pair if you want to!
