Run selection/line without execution of entire block

[skjerns]

For debugging, I like to go line by line through my code by using the "Run selection/line in Console" feature (as I know from Spyder).

However, once in a while, not the current line, but the complete code block will be sent to the console. Is there a way to strictly only ever send the current line and not the code block to the console?

Can you share more about how/when you are seeing this? What is some example code where you see the whole code block sent to the console? Are you working in a .py file, .qmd file, or something else?

It seems to happen whenever a nested loop is involved

for x in range(10):
    print(x)  # here, run selection/line works
    print(x)
    print(x)
    for y in range(10):
        print(y)  # here, run selection/line runs the entire code block
        print(y)
        print(y)

Ah, I believe we are tracking this in #3464. Take a look and see if you have any additional info to add! 🙌

yes, that seems very similar!
