Vim mode never starts in VISUAL

You'll notice
Useful2 Signal1
Elsewhere

Vim mode always opens in NORMAL, never stuck in VISUAL.

What

If the editor is handed an initial mode of VISUAL or VISUAL LINE, it starts in NORMAL instead. Mode changes made after the editor is mounted still apply exactly as given.

Evidence

e.initialMode === "VISUAL LINE"

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
