[Regression] Visual mode broken

[protist]

I just upgraded to diffchar 6.3, and visual mode no longer works. I press v or V, then attempt to move with hjkl. Vim immediately puts me back in normal mode.

I tried reverting to diffchar 6.2, and visual mode works perfectly. Visual mode is obviously important for :diffget, etc.

Thanks for using and asking. I found my error. Please try to add one line in autoload/diffchar.vim as a workaround. I will check any other regression in visual mode.

Thank you. That works perfectly! (Also I do very much like the improvements to 6.3. The dynamic highlighting of the other pane is very cool!)

I also experience this problem. I can provide any extra info if needed.

Fixed in release.
