VimPlugin cursor does not update position on click

Question

I am using vim plugin in VSCode. Sometimes, when I am in normal mode, I like to use my mouse to navigate, especially, if it is a big file. So I scroll to the new place, click there and try to begin editing my code by going back to the insert mode. However, when I use the insert mode, the cursor goes back to where it was before.

Vim cursor does not seem to remember the position of the new cursor updated on click. Is there any way to change this behaviour?

I have found a solution, downgrade from the latest v1.17.0 to the previous one. To do so follow these steps:

1. Open extension navigation
2. Right click the Vim extension
3. Select "Install another version"
4. Click on 1.16.0

Fixed it for me. Hope this works for others that may have this issue.
