Deleting to register in Vintage mode not working

[chetan51]

In Vintage mode, if you set a mark (ex. by pressing "ma"), and then move the cursor somewhere else and try to delete to the mark (ex. by pressing "d`a"), the cursor just moves to the mark instead of deleting to the mark. This also happens when trying to select to the mark, copy to the mark, or change to the mark.

I'm running into the same problem, and as a longtime vim user this is something that would be really nice to have fixed.

Any thoughts?

Cheers,
