vscode vim surround adding spaces when changing from double to single quote

Question

Using vscodevim (not the surround extension) in a text file. When doing the most basic surround example (straight from Tim Pope's surround.vim page).

Press cs"' inside

"Hello world!"

and I expect it to change it to:

'Hello world!'

however it changes to:

' Hello world! '

Why those surrounding spaces? Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug in vscodevim? I am aware of how to avoid these with matching brackets (start bracket versus end bracket) but with quotes?

vscode version: 1.9.1 vscodevim version: 0.5.3
