Vim: inconsistent NextWordStart / NextSubwordStart behavior

[thomasheartman]

Summary

NextWordStart and NextSubwordStart appear to treat punctuation differently. NextWordStart stops at punctuation, NextSubwordStart ignores punctuation and goes to the next word after a space

Steps to trigger the problem:

1. In a new file, with vim mode active, enter the text "word, next"
2. In normal mode, with your cursor somewhere in "word", visually select or delete with NextWordStart and NextSubwordStart
3. Notice the behavior is different

Actual Behavior:
From this starting point:

delete NextWordStart (does as I expect and deletes up until the comma)

delete NextSubwordStart (deletes past the comma up until the next word separated by whitespace)

Expected Behavior:

They should behave the same in this case (I'd expect the NextWordStart behavior).

My context stack tells me that they're using equivalent commands (the vim operator in the context is incorrect as it changes when I set up the screenshot command; it should be d):

Word:

Subword

Vim mode: delete subword deleting beyond the first punctuation #23344

Subword motion ignores line breaks, jumps to next line unexpectedly #17780

It seems that the subword movement has a lot of problems.
