Multiline search selects one too many characters in the editor

[gregvanl]

• VSCode Version: 1.29 Insiders
• OS Version: Window 10

Found while testing #62102

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Try search with one character ending the match (---\n# D)

Sometimes an extra character is included in the editor selection.

It happens on the first open of the editor. If you go to another file and then come back the selection is correct.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

Not surprisingly, the over selection also affects search and replace removing the extra character.

This issue renders multi-line search and replace unusable.
