Bug ID: 454312
Summary: Kate Vi mode mouse selection makes cursor position
wrong (always +1 column)
Product: kate
Version: 22.04.1
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Vi Input Mode

SUMMARY
If you have text:
`123456789`
and you want to select 3 to 7 (vi visual mode) and operate
(delete/cut/copy/replace)
The "block cursor" is at 7, making it looks like the selection range is 3 to 7
But the true selection range is 3 to 6
That's different than Vim's behavior, making user can't see the real selection
range
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run Kate. Open a text file
2. Set Kate into Vi input mode
3. Use mouse to select text (it will enter visual mode)
4. Move mouse and select text from left to right, or from up to down
OBSERVED RESULT
The wrong positioned cursor (selection end position + 1 column) makes user
can't see the range correctly.
EXPECTED RESULT
The cursor should be at the last selected character block position, like Vim
(see the screenshot)
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.94.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Graphics Platform: X11
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Such wrong positioned cursor won't occur when:
1. Make selection by h, l (left, right) keyboard
2. Select text from right to left, or from down to up
