That's quite old.

Yes, I can.

In char-wise visual-state `left-char' won't move before the column
visual-state was entered (unless you `evil-backward-char' before it).

And by 2<left> you can shift where the selection will start, this should
not happen.

And there's even more, probably related: `left-char` and `right-char` in
line-wise visual-state behave erratically (jumping beetween bol and eol
and others, can't point at it).
