Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in PSReadLine Vi mode with a line ending in a word delimiter, using the stated PowerShell, PSReadLine, and Windows Terminal environment. Locate the ViReplaceEndOfWord entry point and any related tests; done means the cursor lands before the ending delimiter and the existing trailing-character case remains correct.

Environment data
PS Version: 7.6.0
PS HostName: ConsoleHost (Windows Terminal)
PSReadLine Version: 2.4.5
PSReadLine EditMode: Vi
OS: 10.0.26100.1 (WinBuild.160101.0800)
BufferWidth: 200
BufferHeight: 50
Steps to reproduce

Type some text that ends with a word delimiter. In VI mode, with the cursor anywhere before that ending word delimiter, type <c, e>. For example:

'sometext'

Expected behavior

The cursor should end up landing just before the delimiter

Actual behavior

The cursor lands after the delimiter, at the end of the line.

If you were to repeat the test, but place a space (or any character, really) at the end of the line, after the delimiter, then the cursor will correctly land before the delimiter
