Description of the Issue

If you enable multi edit using Alt + Shift + arrow keys, and type something on multiple rows, I expect to be able to end multi edit mode by hitting Esc. But that doesn't work unless i move using arrow keys before I hit Esc. That makes the multi edit mode annoyingly "sticky". Please ensure that Esc ALWAYS ends multi edit mode and/or provide some other hotkey for that.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

1. New document, add some blank lines.
2. Use Alt+Shift+Down or Up to start multi edit mode.
3. Type some text.
4. Hit Esc to end multi edit mode.
5. Notice that multi edit mode remains.
6. Hit arrow left to move the multi edit focus one character position to the left.
7. Hit Esc to end multi edit mode and notice that it is now ended.

Expected Behavior

I expect to be able to always reliable end multi edit mode with a single keystroke or shortcut key no matter what I did with multi edit mode before that keystroke.

Actual Behavior

Multi edit remains after hitting Esc, unless I use unshifted arrow keys before hitting Esc,
