move_next_word_start behaves different from Helix

[JackWolfard]

Issue

When moving to next word with w, the behavior is different from what is expected. For example, the selection can span multiple lines when this is not the behavior in Helix. Please see video below.

Thanks for raising, out of interest, why does your helix skip lines entirely when mine doesn't?

helix-term 23.10 (f6021dd0)

Mine behaves like @JackWolfard and I also have relative line numbers activated. Maybe post your config @jasonwilliams ?

EDIT: Ah I also have cursorline = true

[editor]
auto-format = true
bufferline = "multiple"
color-modes = true
cursorline = true
line-number = "relative"
rulers = [120]
true-color = true

[editor.cursor-shape]
insert = "bar"
normal = "block"
select = "underline"

[editor.indent-guides]
render = true

[editor.soft-wrap]
enable = true

I can skip lines in hx, but cannot do that in this plugin. My vscode version：1.87.2 plugin version：0.6.2
