IdeaVIM leaves Visual mode when pressing arrow keys on JetBrains Gateway

[docent]

Hi,
first of all don't blame me for using arrows, I've been doing that forever and hard to switch now ;) I've been experiencing a problem with visual mode when using JetBrains Gateway. My setup is the following:
Mac M2 -> Jetbrains Gateway 2024.1 Beta -> Idea 2024.1 Beta (running on a RH VM, need Idea Beta for Jetty 12 support...). IdeaVIM 2.10.0 plugin only installed on the client.

Currently when I enter a visual select, whether by line or by character, it exits as soon as I press any arrow key! Also, when I press "down arrow" while in visual it jumps down two lines.

Interestingly I cannot reproduce this issue when I change the backend (I fired a rustrover project and it doesn't happen), and doesn't happen in a locally installed Intellij Idea. It also worked somehow before the plugin updated to 2.10.0 (but not always). Generally it's hard to say what triggers this bug exactly.

To be sure, I have:

• IdeaVIM installed only on the client
• no custom .ideavimrc
• Tried to reset settings
• Tried to create a new project

Found an old issue someone had...

Any assistance would be appreciated, as it's driving me nuts :)

Hi there! Can you please take a look if 2.10.1 patch fixes your problem? We discovered a regression with removed dev and 2.10.0, probably you're also affected by it.

Hey Alex, yeah, updating to 2.10.1 solved it. Thanks!
