Calling the linewise comment toggle on multiple lines with visual mode loses selection

[jmiln]

If you select multiple lines in visual mode, then run the command documented in the api page (Shown below), then typing gv to reselect previous selection only reselects the starting line, and not the entire selection.

This happens when typing in the lua command manually too, not just when having it mapped.

-- Linewise toggle using C-/
map('x', '<C-_>', '<ESC><CMD>lua require("Comment.api").toggle_linewise_op(vim.fn.visualmode())<CR>')

Yes, the API functions does not preserve marks by default.

Try

-- Linewise toggle using C-/
map('x', '<C-_>', '<ESC><CMD>lua require("Comment.api").locked.toggle_linewise_op(vim.fn.visualmode())<CR>')
