Persistent-scratch starts in visual state with evil-mode

[dieggsy]

When using evil-mode and persistent-scratch is loaded, the buffer is put into evil-visual-state and the text in the scratch buffer is highlighted. Unsure what the cause is/how to fix. The following is how I am loading persistent-scratch, note that it is deferred.

(use-package persistent-scratch
  :ensure t
  :defer 10
  :config
  (persistent-scratch-setup-default))

Does this patch solve the issue?

Should be fixed now.
