FloatermSend always use '<,'> range if it exists ignoring explicitly defined range. For example if you did visual selection in your vim session, :2,3FloatermSend will send the recent visual selection instead of lines 2 and 3. When there was not visual selection in the session, FloatermSend works as expected.

Steps to reproduce

Using the minimal vimrc

set nocompatible
set hidden
set termguicolors
set runtimepath^=/path/to/vim-floaterm
filetype plugin indent on
syntax on

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start vim using minimal vimrc
2. Insert the following text:
   echo FirstString
   echo SendMe
   echo SendMeToo
3. Go to the first string
4. In normal mode press <Shift-v> to do select the first line
5. Press <Esc> to return to normal mode.
6. :packadd vim-floaterm
7. :FloatermNew --wintype=split
8. <Ctrl-w>w to return to the text window
9. :2,3FloatermSend

Actual behaviour

$ echo FirstString
FirstString

Expected behaviour

$ echo SendMe
SendMe
$ echo SendMeToo
SendMeToo
