Describe the issue:
If you have an R script with:
- a pipeline with line breaks
- followed by some incomplete code
Running the pipeline on top with CMD+Return doesn't run the entire pipeline.

Steps to reproduce the issue:
- Create an R script with the following, put cursor on Line 1, run Line 1 with CMD+Return, all good!
1 + 1
# buggy, incomplete code below
2 |>
sum(- Create an R script with the following, put cursor on Line 1, run Line 1 with CMD+Return, also all good!
1 |> sum(1)
# buggy, incomplete code below
2 |>
sum(- Create an R script with the following, put cursor on Line 2, try to run the entire pipeline with CMD+Return, entire pipeline is not sent to the Console. There is no error but clearly something is wrong.

sum(1)
# buggy, incomplete code below
2 |>
sum(- Create a slightly more realistic R script where the pipeline uses dplyr functions and try again, putting cursor on Line 2, try to run the entire pipeline with CMD+Return, entire pipeline is not sent to the Console, resulting in an error this time.

sum(Expected or desired behavior:
Regardless of broken/buggy code further down in the script, a "good" pipeline with line breaks should be sent to the Console entirely.
Were there any error messages in the UI, Output panel, or Developer Tools console?
No.
