It was an issue I reported to VSVim, one of the extensions I use inside of Visual Studio. This extension adds support to Vim inside VS.

Did u have the solution before u reported the issue? So you solved ur issue by urself and pull request to the repository.

I wanna contribute to a repository but when i check the pull request isnt reviewed by the reviewer,i doubt mine will be checked. There are hundred pull request not reviewed yet.

I just opened the issue. I didn't solve the issue on my own. But, it was great to see the issue solved in the next release.

Most of the time, some projects are maintain by full time programmer. So, it's better to open an issue or ask in a forum on in a Slack channel.
