Description

  • VS Code version: Code 1.41.1 (26076a4de974ead31f97692a0d32f90d735645c0, 2019-12-18T15:04:31.999Z)
  • OS version: Linux x64 4.15.0-72-generic (Ubuntu 16)
  • Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Revert selected ranges reverts any hunks in which there is a cursor. This is annoying when one wants more fine-grained control. Especially seeing as it is already easy to revert by hunk through other features.

Note that this is contrary to Stage selected ranges, which correctly stages only the selected lines

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the 'Revert selected ranges' command implementation to understand why it reverts entire hunks instead of selected lines, then modify the logic to use line ranges.
