In visual mode, `:` command input moves the cursor to the end of the selected range

[KSR-Yasuda]

With this plugin, pushing : in visual selected, the cursor moves the end of the range.

:new
:0r !seq 1 20       " Put the line number to each line.

:setl nu rnu        " Set `releativenumber`

:10
Shift-V
4j                  " Visual select L10 - 14 (cursor is at L14).
o                   " Move the cursor to the head of the range, L10.

:                   " Begin to input command,
                    " and it moves the cursor to the end of the range, L14, unexpectedly.

With relativenumber option, this is harmful: commands works as the cursor is at the head of the range ('<), but displayed relativenumbers are not the relative ones from the line.

Could you take a look into this?

The cursor() looks moving the cursor pos to the range end '>.

Why does it need this?

[markonm]

The plugin previews the range by moving the cursor to the end of the range. The cursor is moved only when Command-line mode is active. After the preview is over, the cursor is restored to its original position.

If you don't like that behavior, try adding the following to your vimrc:

let g:traces_preserve_view_state = 1
